June 2025

The Cavaliers have acquired Lonzo Ball from the Bulls in exchange for 3-and-D forward Isaac Okoro. Ball, 27, averaged 7.6 points this season after a multi-year knee recovery.
Ball joins Cleveland as a fast-paced, defensive guard amid Garland’s injury and cap constraints. His $20M deal fits within budget, while Chicago gains a younger wing in Okoro for their rebuild.
