The Cleveland Cavaliers have signed free agent forward Leon Powe to a contract, Cavaliers General Manager Danny Ferry announced today. Per team and league policy, terms of the contract were not released.

Powe, 25, played in 70 games (seven starts) this past season for the Boston Celtics and averaged 7.7 points on .524 shooting and a career-best 4.9 rebounds in 17.5 minutes per game. In his seven starts, he averaged 14.3 points on .576 shooting, 8.1 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 25.9 minutes per game.

?Leon is a high quality player and person. His tough, gritty play has already contributed in big playoff games during his young career,? Ferry said. ?As he continues to work rehabilitating his injury, we would look to hopefully see him return towards the end of the season.?
