Leon Powe will sign a two-year contract for the league minimum with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday on the condition of doctors being satisfied with the progress of his injured left knee, a league source said.

Powe tore his anterior cruciate ligament and cartilage in his knee during Game 2 of the Boston Celtics? first-round series against the Chicago Bulls.

Powe hopes to be back on the court by this season?s All-Star break, and the Cavaliers are willing to take a low-risk gamble on him pending the results of his physical.

The Cavaliers will hold the option for the contract?s second season.
