Key Contributors on the Cavs Roster
The Cavaliers made a notable move by trading Isaac Okoro to Chicago for Lonzo Ball. While Ball has battled injuries, he brings valuable two-way playmaking to the backcourt. With Darius Garland recovering from toe surgery and Max Strus expected to miss at least the first month of the season following foot surgery, Cleveland also reunited with Larry Nance Jr. to add veteran depth. Meanwhile, the core of Donovan Mitchell, Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen returns, now joined by De’Andre Hunter.
