US EditionAP Source: Cavs Acquire Lonzo Ball From Bulls
- The Cleveland Cavaliers acquired guard Lonzo Ball from the Chicago Bulls in a trade agreed on Saturday, sending Isaac Okoro to Chicago.
- The Cavaliers made the trade to address a weak backup point guard position following Darius Garland's injury and their recent early postseason exit.
- Ball returned last season after missing two seasons due to knee injuries, playing 35 games with averages of 7.6 points, 3.3 assists, and 1.3 steals.
- Okoro, a 24-year-old small forward and former fifth overall pick in 2020, played five seasons with Cleveland averaging 8.1 points and shot 46.7% from the field.
- The Cavaliers hope Ball can improve their depth behind Garland next season while the Bulls continue shifting toward younger assets, making this trade significant for both teams.
