Cavaliers sign PF Okaro White to 10-day contract

The Cleveland Cavaliers signed power forward Okaro White to a 10-day contract on Sunday, a team source confirmed to ESPN.

White appeared in 41 games over the past two seasons with the Miami Heat, averaging 2.9 points and 2.3 rebounds.

The Cavs, who have been carrying only 13 players on their roster for the past two weeks, had to sign a player by Sunday, according to a league rule.

The White signing will cost the Cavs approximately $400,000 in salary and luxury tax fees, a team source told ESPN.

His signing comes on the heels of Saturday's win over the Chicago Bulls in which the team had just nine healthy bodies in uniform.

White's signing was earlier reported by Yahoo! Sports.
