Cavaliers center Zydrunas Ilgauskas said earlier this season that he was contemplating retirement, but he's now putting off those plans.

"I'm going to play next year," Ilgauskas told FanHouse recently. "I realize I've got a lot of good basketball left in me."

Ilgauskas will be a free agent this summer and says he wants to re-sign with Cleveland.

"Of course," said Ilgauskas, who has spent his entire career with the Cavaliers. "We'll wait until summer (to talk about a new contract)."
