According to ESPN’s senior writer Brian Windhorst, the Cleveland Cavaliers have traded reserve center Chris Andersen to the Charlotte Hornets.
Andersen, who is in his 15th NBA season, signed with the Cavs in the offseason after the departures of Timofey Mozgov (signed with the Los Angeles Lakers) and Sasha Kaun (retired) in the offseason left the champs with a sizable gap behind Tristan Thompson at center. In 12 games, Andersen averaged 2.3 points, 2.6 blocks and 0.6 blocks per game while seeing the floor for just 9.5 minutes per contest.
Andersen, a reserve player for the Cavs, had infectious energy, hustle and toughness.
