MIAMI — Zydrunas Ilgauskas is following LeBron James to the Miami Heat.
Agent Herb Rudoy says the veteran center expects to sign a two-year contract later this week. The terms have not been finalized, but Rudoy says “we’ve agreed to agree.”
Rudoy says Ilgauskas has told Cleveland owner Dan Gilbert and Cavaliers general manager Chris Grant of his decision.
The 7-foot-3 Ilgauskas was selected by Cleveland with the 20th pick in the 1996 NBA draft.
On Tuesday, LeBron James confirmed that Ilgauskas will be joining him in South Beach. “Welcome Big Z. Glad u are joining me in South Beach my friend. Also thanks for the encouraging words big fella.”
