INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- As expected, the Cavs signed forward Derrick Williams to a second 10-day contract Wednesday.
Cleveland.com reported late Tuesday the Cavs' intention to sign Williams before Wednesday's practice.
Williams, 25, is averaging 9.8 points in 22.8 minutes per game since joining the Cavs on Feb. 9. This is Williams' fifth team in six seasons, but he is widely expected to remain with Cleveland for the rest of the year.
The 10-day contract is for $67,700. Should the Cavs need his roster spot for any reason -- like clearing a roster spot to make a trade in which the Cavs take on multiple players with the intent to waive one -- they can simply terminate Williams' 10-day contract and then sign him for the rest of the season after the trade.
