Cavs To Sign Tristan Thompson To One-Year Contract

It appears the Cavaliers are turning to a familiar face or help in the frontcourt. That would be no less than Tristan Thompson, the championship-winning center who returned to Cleveland last season.

Well, he will be back for another season, as Hoops Wire sources confirmed that the Cavaliers and Thompson have agreed to another one-year deal. The news was first reported by Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Thompson offers leadership, tons of hustle and some winning vibes, given that he was a starter for the 2016 title team.

He was suspended for 25 games last season for violating the league’s anti-drug program by testing positive for ibutamoren and SARM LGD-4033 — and his teammates and the coaching staff made it clear to Thompson they were not pleased.

But he returned in time for the playoffs, offering his usual dose of offensive rebounding and general dirty work near the basket.

More to come …
