The Cavaliers are expected to sign center Jelani McCoy before training camp opens for veterans Thursday.

McCoy, a 6-foot-10, 255-pound center, has five years of NBA experience, playing three years in Seattle, one with the Lakers and last season with the Raptors. He was originally drafted by the Sonics in the second round in 1998 and has averaged 4.9 points and 3.7 rebounds over 242 games in his career.

He averaged 6.8 points and 5.3 rebounds in 67 games with 25 starts for the Raptors last year after making the team out of training camp. He won an NBA Championship ring with the Lakers in 2002, though he played just 21 games and was left off the playoff roster.
