The Cleveland Cavaliers are signing veteran forward Marcus Morris to a 10-day contract, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.

Morris is expected to be available for the Cavaliers' contest against the Indiana Pacers on Monday.

The San Antonio Spurs bought out the veteran forward after acquiring him from the Philadelphia 76ers in a three-team deal. Because he was bought out before March 1, Morris is eligible to play in the postseason.

Morris averaged 6.7 points and 2.9 rebounds, mainly as a reserve, for the Sixers this season. He spent the previous four seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers, starting 167 games over that period.

The Cavaliers need forward depth, as Evan Mobley and Dean Wade missed their 117-103 loss to the Houston Rockets on Sunday. Cleveland ranks third in the Eastern Conference with a 42-25 record.
