Anderson Varejao still needs to have visa issues worked out, travel from Brazil and pass a physical, making Tuesday's home game against Indiana a likely time for his return.

"I'm happy to be back in Cleveland and grateful to the Bobcats for their offer because that helped to get this deal done," said Varejao, who is now in Los Angeles. "I got what I wanted, so now let's forget what happened (during the negotiations) and move on."

Cavs' General Manager Danny Ferry said it was a long and difficult process for both sides.

"We're now looking forward to getting Andy back and seeing him back on the court," Ferry said.
