CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers have signed veteran free-agent Anthony Parker to add depth to the backcourt.

The 34-year-old Parker played in 80 games for the Toronto Raptors last season and averaged 10.7 points and 3.4 assists. Terms were not disclosed.

Cavs general manager Danny Ferry says Monday that Cleveland went after the 6-foot-6 guard/forward for his shooting and defensive skills.

Parker likely will be one of the first players off the bench, behind Cleveland starting guards Mo Williams and Delonte West and small forward LeBron James.
