CLEVELAND, Ohio. - Free agent center and former Cleveland Cavalier Anderson Varejao has not requested a championship ring from the NBA champs, cleveland.com has learned.

Varejao was a member of the Golden State Warriors when the Cavaliers came back from a 3-1 series deficit to win the city's first championship in 52 years. He was traded at the deadline to Portland and subsequently waived before choosing to sign with the Warriors as a mid-season free agent.

He was eligible to receive a ring regardless of The Finals outcome. Cleveland has not contacted Varejao and has no plans to send him a ring unless he expresses interest in obtaining one, cleveland.com was told.

Varejao's 12-year NBA career had been all with the Cavaliers organization until being dealt in February.
