The Cleveland Cavaliers are no longer planning to play Andre Drummond as they work to trade the two-time All-Star center before the NBA’s March 25 deadline, sources told ESPN.
Although the Cavs are on the verge of parting ways with Drummond, the veteran center is still playing at a very high level and will likely receive considerable interest, whether on the trade market or after potentially getting bought out if a deal can’t be made.
