Perkins joined the Cavaliers for camp before the season but was cut and ended up going to the G League to play for the Canton Charge. He averaged 8.7 points and 7.1 rebounds per game in 27 contests with the team.

The big center has not played in the NBA since the 2015-16 season with the New Orleans Pelicans.
