Anderson Varejao 'ready to go for the season'

After finishing last season as a spectator on an NBA Finals team, Anderson Varejao heard a few words recently that made his grueling off-season rehab worth it.

They came from the doctors who cleared Varejao to participate when the Cavs open training camp on Tuesday at Cleveland Clinic Courts.

"I'm ready to go for the season," Varejao said with a wide smile during Cavs Media Day Monday. "I sat down with the medical staff and we had a nice talk and I'm able to be full go from the beginning. Of course, we are going to have to be smart and not overdo it because I'm coming back from a big injury. But I'm excited."
