Antawn Jamison confirmed he will not be returning to the Cavaliers next season.

"I understand the importance of Tristan (Thompson) and these younger guys getting the opportunity to play," Jamison said. "I’ve taught them so much and it’s been fun teaching them, but it’s time for me to move on as well. I don’t know what the future holds, I don’t know what opportunity might present itself, but I definitely have a great feeling this is probably my last home game and (Thursday) will be my last game as a Cav."

Jamison will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have signed guard/forward D.J. Kennedy from the Erie BayHawks of the NBA Development League for the remainder of the 2011-12 season.

In 44 regular season games (all starts) with the BayHawks, Kennedy averaged 15.7 points on .447 shooting, 7.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 37.4 minutes per game. He shot .378 (51-135) from three-point range and .816 from the free throw line (168-206). The 6-foot-6, 215-pounder also played in all three of Erie’s postseason games, averaging 14.3 points, 9.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists in 42.0 minutes per game.

Lester Hudson left the Cavaliers and signed with the Grizzlies this week following the expiration of his second 10-day contract.

Sources say Hudson didn't want to sign Cleveland's offer of a contract with a team option for 12-13 without more guaranteed money.

Teams are increasingly seeking two-year deals where the second-year is not fully guaranteed because it also becomes a trade chip.

The Grizzlies will sign Lester Hudson for the remainder of the season.

Hudson has a verbal agreement with Memphis.

Hudson will be eligible for the playoffs because he wasn't waived by the Cavaliers. Hudson's second 10-day contract with Cleveland expired on Wednesday.

Hudson was unable to come to terms with the Cavaliers on a contract for the rest of the season on Thursday.

Hudson averaged 12.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 24 minutes while shooting 39 percent from the field and 25 percent from 3-point range in 13 games for the Cavaliers.

Stan Van Gundy was named the NBA coach whom players would least like to play for, according to a player poll released by Sports Illustrated.

Van Gundy received 22 percent of the vote, beating out Bucks coach Scott Skiles, who collected 14 percent of the vote.

Byron Scott finished third with 9 percent, followed by Flip Saunders at 6 percent.

Luke Harangody has been recalled by the Cavaliers from their D-League affiliate the Canton Charge.

Cleveland lost Semih Erden to an ankle sprain on Wednesday.

Harangody is averaging 19.4 points on 48.6 percent shooting, while grabbing 12.6 rebounds per game in the D-League.

Lester Hudson scored 25 points in Cleveland's 103-90 victory over the Bobcats on Tuesday.

Hudson also scored 23 points on Friday against the Raptors and 26 on Sunday at New Jersey.

"The young man's playing great basketball, and he's doing it all in the system, which is great," Scott said. "He's not taking bad shots or anything. He's not forcing anything. He's doing an excellent job on the defensive end as far as rebounding for a guard. He's really getting in there and helping out our bigs. But, obviously, tonight again he got it going offensively and made the best of the situation."

Hudson is having a similar impact as Jeremy Lin did for the Knicks in February.

"The Linsanity thing I thought was similar to what's going on right now with Lester," Scott said when asked to name another player who had this kind of impact. "I think he's just playing great basketball."

Hudson signed a second 10-day contract on Monday.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have signed guard Lester Hudson to a second 10-day contract.

Hudson has appeared in six games for the Cavs this season, averaging 12.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.5 steals in 23.8 minutes per game. He has set a career high in scoring in two consecutive games. Hudson totaled 23 points and seven assists at Toronto on April 6 and finished with 26 points, including shooting 6-12 (.500) from three-point range, to go along four rebounds and three assists at New Jersey on April 8. Over his last two games, Hudson is averaging 24.5 points, 5.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 2.5 steals and is shooting .867 from the free throw line in 30.5 minutes per game off the bench.

Kyrie Irving did not travel with the Cavaliers to Milwaukee in order to obtain an MRI at the Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Sports Health and undergo additional examination from Cavaliers Head Team Physician Dr. Richard Parker.

Irving will now undergo a period of rest and treatment for the shoulder and then transition into a period of rehabilitation. He is currently projected to be out for the next seven to 10 days.

Daniel Gibson had successful surgery on Monday to repair a torn tendon in his left foot and ankle.

Gibson will now undergo a period of rest and then transition into a rehabilitation phase, while missing the remainder of the season.
