Baron Davis wasn't active for the Cavaliers on Sunday against the 76ers.
"I look at is as a rebirth," said Davis, who was traded to Cleveland by the Clippers a few days ago. "It's a new beginning. I'm excited."
Davis is reuniting with coach Byron Scott, who he played under in New Orleans.
"Playing for Coach Scott, we're together for a reason," Davis said. "There a few things my game can benefit from by playing for him."
The two had their differences while in New Orleans, but they patched things a few years ago.
"We've had some ups and downs," Davis said. "We've made some mistakes. We have a great deal of respect for each other. I'm here to help him and I knew he's going to help me. I'm glad we get to have a second try at this."
Davis, who has been bothered by a left knee injury all season, is questionable for Cleveland's game against San Antonio on Wednesday.
