When Leon Powe returns he may be part of the King James' court.
The Celtics grabbed Shelden Williams and re-signed Glen Davis, and ESPN's Chris Sheridan reported on Tuesday that Powe is expected to sign a two-year deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers to play alongside LeBron James.
According to Sheridan, Powe traveled to Cleveland to be examined by the Cavaliers medical staff on Tuesday.
Powe's contract with the Celtics expired at the end of the this season, while Powe was in the midst of recovering from tearing the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee.
The 6-foot-9 240-pound University of California product came to Boston as part of a draft night deal with the Denver Nuggets in 2006. He sat out the 2004-05 season at Cal after a pair of knee surgeries.
He suffered a strained right knee against the Chicago Bulls in March, and missed 13 games before. He returned for the end of the regular season and played in the playoffs with a knee brace.
Powe tore the ACL in his left knee in Game 2 of the first round of the playoffs against Chicago. He had surgery at New England Baptist Hospital on May 5.
