According to the report, the 26-year-old 7'6 foot (2.29-meter) forward will sign a 1-year deal with the Xinjiang Flying Tigers.

Last season, Fall averaged 1.1 points and 2.1 rebounds in 11 contests (1 start) for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Overall, Fall played 37 games in the NBA, averaging 2.2 points and 2.4 rebounds.

Fall was doing much better in the G-League, where he averaged 23.3 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 3.0 blocks in 4 contests.

BasketNews earlier reported that Fall was drawing interest from newly established Lithuanian club BC Wolves, but the deal didn't materialize.

Wolves assistant coach Aurimas Jasilionis, who will work under head coach Rimas Kurtinaitis in the new club, revealed in an interview withBasketNewsthat the club is still considering making an offer for Fall.

"To be honest, the idea for Tacko [Fall] is still alive. We're still searching, talking to agents, and Fall's candidacy remains among the options, we'll see how it goes," said Jasilionis.

"When I first saw him [Tacko Fall] on the list, I thought it was a joke. But I started watching more of his games, it doesn't seem like a joke anymore. It's incredible how fast he can move with his height," added Jasilionis.
