Report: Kendrick Perkins to join Cavs in training camp

Kendrick Perkins will join the Cleveland Cavaliers for their training camp next week, according to a report.

Perkins, who played with the Cavaliers three seasons ago, was at the team’s minicamp in Santa Barbara this week. You can see him on the left in this photo standing between Richard Jefferson and Derrick Rose:

Great few days of mini camp with the squad!! Made each other better every single sec/min/hour we were on the floor! It's the beginning of a long journey and we'll be ready for the Process that comes with it! #StriveForGreatness #TheLand #savagemode

Cleveland.com’s Joe Vardon says the 32-year-old center will continue to work with the team and be at next week’s training camp.

Although Perkins is working with the team, Vardon says it’s unlikely he makes the roster because of how much he will cost due to the luxury taxes involved in cutting another player to make room for him.

Perkins did not play last season but played 37 games for the Pelicans the season before.
