If he doesn’t play, do you win that game? That’s probably up in the air. He was huge, I thought.”</p><p>To answer Atkinson’s question, Hunter <a href="https://www.nba.com/game/mil-vs-cle-0022500107/box-score" rel="noopener">grabbed four boards</a>, and just one came on offense; that doesn’t indicate his true impact on the glass. Hunter was in the mix whenever a shot went up, putting a body on somebody or leaping to disrupt opposing rebounders. It’s something Cleveland is challenging him to be better at this year.</p><p>Hunter scored 16 points and dished out a couple of assists as well in his 27 minutes of court time. He had his off-the-dribble game working with a couple of mid-range pull-ups from the right elbow and got closer to the basket. Hunter hit a three-ball at the top of the perimeter on a pass from Donovan Mitchell, too, at a crucial time to start the fourth quarter.</p><p>“It was just efficient for him, and then, finding his spots,” Mitchell said. “Obviously, there were certain shots he turned down we wish he didn’t. But the fact that he’s continued to be aggressive, getting on the offensive rebounds, being a pest defensively, being able to switch 1-5 at the end. That’s what he brings to us.”</p><p>“Just another option offensively,” Evan Mobley added. “Defensively, to have a big guy out there like that, especially against Giannis [Antetokounmpo] and the team that we played [Sunday]. So him being out there is definitely a different look.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">A glimpse at De’Andre Hunter’s post-practice workout in New York on Thursday featuring Kenny Atkinson’s stick-hand.</p><p>All of the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Cavs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Cavs</a> coaching staff gave him side and baseline closeouts &amp; made it a fun game.</p><p>Hunter (knee) is questionable for tonight’s home opener vs. the Bucks. <a href="https://t.co/eWc5sI97Ie">pic.twitter.com/eWc5sI97Ie</a></p><p>— Spencer Davies (@SpinDavies) <a href="https://twitter.com/SpinDavies/status/1982474568640991492?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 26, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Hunter was not afraid to be aggressive with ball pressure, an area the Cavs are aiming to ratchet up even with the early-season foul trouble they’ve encountered.</p><p>It was a solid night at the office for Cleveland’s new everyday starting small forward, who carried over his preseason momentum into his first game of the year.

Still, both teams would obviously like to start their seasons off on the right foot and send an early message as the season gets underway.</p><p>In any case, the Cavs and Knicks are set to tip things off at 7:00 PM ET from Madison Square Garden in New York City. The game will be televised nationally by ESPN following the network’s first “Inside the NBA” pregame show in its new format.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

We’re completely confident in that. We’ve done a lot of work with them this summer. Throw ’em into the fire.”</p><p>The Cavs and Knicks are set to tip off at 7 p.m. EST on Wednesday in a nationally-televised clash of Eastern Conference contenders.

It was more like it stiffened up. That was kind of what I got from [Cavs head athletic trainer] Steve [Spiro], and we talked about it. I said, ‘There’s no need to risk it.'”</p><p>“I’ll be alright,” added De’Andre Hunter, who “for sure” will be ready for Cleveland’s regular-season opener in New York on October 22.</p><p>Luckily for the wine-and-gold, Hunter appears to be just fine. He’s had a phenomenal training camp and preseason, playing free and easy. Before leaving Tuesday’s contest, Hunter had 14 points with a couple of threes and a 6-for-7 conversion rate at the free-throw line.</p><p>Hunter finishes the 2025 preseason averaging 17.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and a steal in 18.7 minutes per game. He shot 59.3 percent from the field and made a scorching 70.0 percent of his three-point attempts.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Guys have been working and conditioning leading up to this, so, a good day. We didn’t scrimmage today. Probably get to that tomorrow.”</p><p>ClutchPoints will be on-site for the first three days of <a href="https://x.com/SpinDavies/status/1973097355663593889">Cavs training camp</a> in Bradenton, Florida, and highlight the most notable storylines of each day.</p><p>Here is what stood out on Day 1:</p><h2><b>A stronger Evan Mobley opens a world of possibilities</b></h2><p>Atkinson’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/cleveland-cavaliers/kenny-atkinson-declaring-cavs-championship-ready">expectations for Evan Mobley are through the roof</a>. Sometimes, if a coach says something that puts too much pressure on a blossoming player, it’ll get clarified or put more gently in hindsight. In this particular case, he’s doubling down on the reigning Defensive Player of the Year and Second Team All-NBA member.</p><p>“It’s pretty amazing at 24 years old, when you put all those accolades together, right? He’s not 28. <i>You’re 24</i>,” Atkinson said. “Maybe you can project better than me, but if you look at that, there’s other things out there that he can be in the conversation for. And I think we will see, you guys will observe the early part of the season, but it seems to me like he’s going to make another jump. I keep saying that. It just feels that way.”</p><p>Despite what the training camp roster list indicates, a league source told ClutchPoints that Mobley is now around 226 pounds.</p><p>With more added strength, Atkinson wants to see Mobley consistently play with more force. He is excited about his potential as a ball-handler, but doesn’t want the seven-footer to get away from being a big man.</p><p>“The challenge for me: I love perimeter Evan. I love it. But I also love interior Evan,” Atkinson said. “I thought last year we did a good job of finding that balance. I think the hardest to guard is if you can do both really well. That’s your complete player. I want to continue to find that balance with him.”</p><p>It’s also understood that opposing teams will try to take away the ball from the Cavs’ guards, so he’ll have to be ready for that too. Atkinson detailed the coaching staff’s specific plan to prepare Mobley for those scenarios.</p><p>“You have to be able to handle the ball in space, and then you’ve got to be able to go get us a bucket when we need a bucket,” Atkinson said. “They’re taking away our drive, kick, swing. They’re taking all our stuff away. Sometimes you’ve got to throw it to a guy, and he’s got to go get it.</p><p>“Those were two things we worked on, and we’re still working on. Today, we played a bunch of 1-on-1, elbow, mid-post. Just getting him in a little bit of a mentality of, ‘Hey, when we need a bucket, I can go get it for us.’”</p><p>According to Atkinson, Mobley has been one of Cleveland’s top 3-point shooters in the preseason. He is showing his development in driving off closeouts from that threat, an area of his game in which he showed some hesitation last season.</p><p>“Definitely stronger. He’s definitely more aggressive. He has confidence,” De’Andre Hunter added. “You can tell he’s putting in a lot of work. I’ve seen it this summer, I was working out with him. He’s gotten a lot better, us giving him confidence and the confidence he has in himself.</p><p>“I think he’s going to have a great year.”</p><h2><b>De’Andre Hunter should fit like a glove</b></h2><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">“He’s someone [that] you’ve really got to build his trust.”</p><p>De’Andre Hunter and Kenny Atkinson reflect on establishing a closer relationship with each other over the summer and how it’s helped with on-court communication. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Cavs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Cavs</a> <a href="https://t.co/8SQYuGKmet">pic.twitter.com/8SQYuGKmet</a></p><p>— Spencer Davies (@SpinDavies) <a href="https://twitter.com/SpinDavies/status/1973032680834117981?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 30, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Atkinson shared that Hunter’s willingness to open up to the Cavs is like “night and day.” They’re not making anything official anytime soon, but in all likelihood, the 27-year-old forward should wind up in the starting five.</p><p>ClutchPoints asked Hunter how he can complement Mobley and Jarrett Allen on each end of the floor.</p><p>“I think we’re going to help each other a lot defensively, being able to switch with those guys, it makes it easier for them,” Hunter responded. “They don’t have to worry about guarding the pick-and-roll as much as a big. So I just try to make it easy for them, they try to make it easy for me. And offensively, I mean, we’re still going to have to figure it out. I haven’t played with them for too long, so I’ve still got to figure out what they like, what they’re used to, but I think that’ll be easy.”</p><p>Posed the same question, Atkinson believes it should work “seamlessly” with the trio.</p><p>“Dre is really kind of perimeter oriented offensively. He can play behind the three, and he gives you great spacing the way he shoots the ball, so there’s no spacing issues there,” Atkinson said. “He gives you an isolation scorer, obviously. Then defensively, I know those three on the court, they defended pretty well, and they rebounded well. I’m excited to see what that looks like.  I think Dre is a good match with Sam (Merrill) and Don (Mitchell), too. They complement each other in a way.</p><p>“I haven’t committed to anything yet, but they’re going to get kind of first shot at what that looks like. I don’t see, ‘Well, it can’t work because of this.’ I haven’t seen negatives to it yet. But again, we’ve got to see more on the floor.”</p><p>Hunter also brought up being more vocal on his part as an area he’d like to be better at: “Max (Strus) is one of our vocal guys who might not be around for the first few months. TT [Tristan Thompson] was one of our more vocal guys as well. So I think I have to step into that role and help Don and help DG [Darius Garland] in that regard.”</p><h2><b>The Cavs are not going to rush Darius Garland back</b></h2><p>Garland had a 45-minute individual workout without contact on the first day of camp.</p><p>“He looked good in those 45 minutes,” Atkinson said. “He’s moving quickly in small spaces, attacking closeouts. No contact. No contact. I don’t want anybody to read too much into that. But definitely getting some good on-court work, individual work.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With Isaac Okoro now with the Chicago Bulls following their trade for Lonzo Ball, the Cavs now have one fewer option to start at the three. But it looks like that won’t matter at all, since the Cavs, according to the rumor mill, already <a href="https://www.cleveland.com/cavs/2025/09/what-im-hearing-about-the-cavs-their-lineup-terry-pluto.html?outputType=amp" rel="noopener">have their sights set</a> on De’Andre Hunter being their starting small forward next season.</p><p>“THE STARTING SMALL FORWARD … will be De’Andre Hunter, unless there is a change of plans.

All-Stars Darius Garland and Evan Mobley and crucial sixth man De’Andre Hunter <a href="https://x.com/ShamsCharania/status/1919882346049802327" rel="noopener">have all been ruled out</a> for Tuesday’s Game 2 matchup versus the visiting Indiana Pacers, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. The Cavs are now in serious danger of absorbing yet another playoffs gut-punch and going down 0-2 in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.</p><p>Donovan Mitchell might have to post the best postseason performance of his career if this woefully undermanned group is going to survive Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam and the feisty Pacers. Garland is dealing with a toe injury, which caused him to miss the tail-end of Cleveland’s opening-round series versus the Miami Heat. Mobley and Hunter each suffered injuries in <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/cleveland-cavaliers/cavs-go-cold-from-3-in-game-1-loss-as-pacers-shoot-lights-out-to-steal-homecourt">Sunday’s Game 1 loss</a> due to what <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/cleveland-cavaliers/cavs-news-kenny-atkinson-coach-of-the-year-historic-64-win-season">NBA Coach of the Year Kenny Atkinson</a> deemed excessive physicality.</p><p>Mobley, the recently crowned Defensive Player of the Year, hurt his ankle when he landed on Myles Turner’s foot following a shot attempt. Atkinson believes that the Indiana center invaded his big man’s landing area. Hunter, a two-way wing the Cavs shrewdly acquired before the trade deadline, drove to the basket in the same contest but came down hard and dislocated his thumb after Bennedict Mathurin met him in the air. The former No. 6 overall draft pick visibly pushes his hand into Hunter’s chest area. No foul was called in either instance.</p><h2><b>The Cavs must find a way</b></h2><p>Officiating is always under the microscope, but obviously the scrutiny multiplies in the NBA playoffs. While Atkinson does not consider Indy to be a dirty team, he firmly believes the whistle should have been blown on both plays. The show must go on, though.</p><p>As unfair as it may seem to Cleveland, the time for gripes is over, or at least paused. The Cavaliers have voiced their opinions and can only hope that they get a break the next time a similar situation arises. Right now, though, the focus is on leaving Rocket Arena with a win. Donovan Mitchell and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/cleveland-cavaliers/cavs-news-kenny-atkinson-challenges-jarrett-allen-pacers-matchup">center Jarrett Allen</a> will be instrumental in making that happen, and so will the squad’s competent supporting cast.</p><p>The Cavs might need Max Strus, Sam Merrill or Ty Jerome to explode form 3-point range in order to combat the Pacers’ usual potent offensive attack. If Atkinson’s bunch does display the necessary resolve to best Indiana, this city is going to feel invincible. Game 2 is currently underway at time of print.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In his view, it crossed a critical line.</p><p>“Indiana deserved that,” Atkinson admitted. “They outplayed us. They were the more physical team. But I will say there were two plays in that game that, I don’t think they were dirty plays, but I think it passed a line of physicality, that line we’ve kind of been talking about where it became excessive.”</p><p>The first of those plays occurred with just more than eight minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Mobley caught the ball in the paint and flipped in a hook shot over Indiana’s Myles Turner. On his landing, Mobley came down awkwardly on Turner’s foot, rolling his left ankle in the process.</p><p>“Turner contests his two-point shot, comes clearly under him, and shooters need space to land,” Atkinson said. “He is pushed off balance in our opinion and tweaks his ankle pretty badly. I think you guys saw him limping the rest of the game. There was a big push to get him out. He wanted to stay in.”</p><p>Mobley, who finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds, was visibly hobbled after the incident. He attempted just one more shot for the remainder of the game.</p><h2><b>Things went from bad to worse after Cavs’ Evan Mobley tweaked his ankle</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Evan-Mobley-attacks-Cavs-Pacers.jpg"><figcaption>Ken Blaze-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>On the very next possession, Cavs forward De’Andre Hunter took off in transition, blowing by Tyrese Haliburton and rising for what looked to be an emphatic dunk.

I don’t know; I guess I gotta know the rules better. Maybe I don’t know the rules. I felt he got absolutely obliterated and dislocated his thumb. So he’ll be questionable.”</p><p>Hunter exited for a brief medical evaluation, later revealing he had dislocated his thumb and had it popped back into place. While he expressed confidence in his ability to suit up for Game 2, his status remains up in the air. That is, until Atkinson, alternating between describing Mobley and Hunter as “questionable” and “doubtful,” ultimately tried to clarify his language.</p><p>“That’s semantics, right? Questionable is questionable. Whatever. Let’s put it in that,” Atkinson said. “To me, in my world, doubtful and questionable live in the same world. So maybe I’m using, I should use the official NBA kind of thing. … I’m not going to expand on it. Obviously, a real concern.”</p><h2><b>Cleveland could be incredibly undermanned heading into Game 2</b></h2><p>The Cavs were already undermanned before either of those incidents. Garland missed the final two games of the first round with a toe injury and was ruled out of Game 1 just 30 minutes before tipoff. His status remains up in the air with Atkinson labeling him “questionable” as well.</p><p>“We just did shootaround today, so it was tough to really gauge kind of where he is,” Atkinson said of Garland. “So yeah, he’ll be questionable, too, for tomorrow.”</p><p>Through all the frustration, Atkinson took care to express respect for the Pacers and the league’s officials, calling the crew that worked Game 1 “a darn good group.” Still, he couldn’t shake the feeling that his team was unfairly dealt a harsh hand.</p><p>“I don’t think this is on Indiana. I have so much respect for how they play,” Atkinson said. “The fact of the matter, I think that it’s on the referees. Maybe there were missed calls, or maybe I’m misinterpreting the rules. But I have a problem when we have two of our best players doubtful for tomorrow’s game; it’s hard for me to get my head around that.</p><p>“Haven’t talked about the referees all year. I think the referees in this league are phenomenal, and they do a great job, and that was a darn good crew that did last night. A ton of respect for those guys. But for some reason, it bothers me that we’re dealing with this. And there should be some repercussions in terms of making the call.”</p><p>As the Cavs prepare for Game 2, the series has taken on a new shape, It’s one not just of competition but of survival. Down 1-0 and bruised, Cleveland now faces a test of resilience in a playoff run suddenly defined by attrition.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He doesn’t think they would be the favorite in a series against Boston, but believes they proved they have made up significant ground following last week’s road victory over the defending champions.</p><p>“De’Andre Hunter is a whopping plus-67 in his eight games as a Cav, and he demonstrated on Friday he can play effective situational defense against Boston’s Jayson Tatum. There is no way to shut Tatum down, but Hunter has played hundreds of possessions against Tatum in his career and held him to under 40% shooting,” Windhorst said.</p><p>“The Cavs are firmly in control to earn home-court advantage, which might not worry the Celtics, who are the best road team in the NBA.

With Donovan Mitchell not in uniform due to a scheduled rest, the Cavs looked as though their nine-game win streak would come to an end. However, De’Andre Hunter and Ty Jerome had other plans.</p><p>The two former Virginia Cavaliers showed Cleveland the way out of a tunnel in the second half. Hunter scored 19 points in the final two quarters while Jerome chipped in 18 in the same span. Overall, Hunter and Jerome had 32 and 25 points in the game, respectively.</p><p>Hunter’s huge second half <a href="https://chroniclet.com/news/422496/cavalier-approach-works-out-against-trail-blazers-thanks-to-former-virginia-teammates-deandre-hunter-and-ty-jerome-who-lead-way/" rel="noopener">earned him praises</a>, including one from Jerome.</p><p>“That’s why we traded for him,” Jerome said of Hunter following the Blazers game, per Bob Finnan of The Chronicle-Telegram.</p><p>Hunter <a href="https://cavsnation.com/news/deandre-hunters-cavaliers-debut-revealed-after-hawks-trade">continues to make the Cavs’ front office look genius</a>, as he’s been a consistent contributor to Cleveland while also carrying a high upside to do more. Just take for example his performance in the Blazers game in which he capitalized on having a bigger usage due to Mitchell’s absence.</p><p>In addition to his points, Hunter also had seven rebounds and a steal while shooting 8-for-15 from the field, 5-for-9 from behind the arc and 11-for-12 from the free-throw line. So far in his tenure with the Cavs, Hunter is averaging 16.0 points on a 52.0 field goal percentage. He is also knocking down his 3-pointers at an incredibly high clip, making them on a 59.5 percent success rate.</p><p>Hunter’s impressive run so far with the Cavaliers shouldn’t be absolutely surprising Jerome, who had seen the forward do wonderful things during their time together with the Hoos. The two also played big roles in Virginia’s national title run in 2019 before the two got picked in the first round of that year’s NBA draft. Hunter was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers (fourth overall), while the Philadelphia 76ers took Jerome (24th overall).</p><p>Now on a 10-game win streak, the Cavs will look to extend their undefeated run to 11 contests when they pay the Chicagoi Bulls a visit in Windy City this coming Tuesday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

A devoted Orlando Magic fan, he deftly balances fervent fandom with insightful reporting, possessing a keen eye for compelling narratives.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Cleveland Cavaliers</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>According to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line, the Cleveland Cavaliers viewed the Toronto Raptors as their <a href="https://marcstein.substack.com/p/jake-fischer-latest-inside-the-brandon" rel="noopener">biggest competition</a> in trade discussions for De’Andre Hunter before ultimately acquiring the forward at the trade deadline.</p><p>Fischer reported that league sources indicated the Raptors and Hawks had engaged in trade discussions about Hunter dating back to the 2023 NBA Draft, around the same time Atlanta was aggressively pursuing Pascal Siakam. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Pelicans and Hawks were separately exploring a trade framework that could have sent Brandon Ingram to Atlanta and Hunter to New Orleans.</p><p>Sources told Fischer that the Hawks had interest in acquiring Ingram, potentially moving center Clint Capela as part of a trade package. Atlanta viewed Ingram as an appealing target in an exchange for Hunter, but ultimately, the deal did not materialize.</p><h2><b>De’Andre Hunter’s breakout boosts Cavaliers as Raptors pivot to Brandon Ingram</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/DeAndre-Hunter-12-reacts-after-making-a-three-point-basket.jpg"><figcaption>© Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Hunter, 27, has taken a significant step forward this season, averaging a career-high 18.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game while shooting 46.1% from the field and 39.8% from three-point range. His improved offensive production made him a coveted trade asset for multiple teams leading up to the deadline.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cavs-news-deandre-hunter-hawks-trade">Cavaliers, who lead the Eastern Conference with a 43-10 record, secured Hunter in a trade</a> with the Hawks. In exchange, Atlanta received guard Caris LeVert, forward Georges Niang, three second-round picks, and two pick swaps. The move strengthened Cleveland’s perimeter defense and provided additional scoring depth as they prepare for a deep playoff run.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/raptors-trade-grade-for-blockbuster-brandon-ingram-deal-with-pelicans">Raptors, meanwhile, pivoted to a different trade route, eventually acquiring Ingram</a> from the Pelicans. Toronto sent Bruce Brown and Kelly Olynyk to New Orleans as part of the deal. Ingram, 27, is averaging 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game while shooting 46.5% from the field and 37.4% from three this season. Shortly after the trade, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-raptors-brandon-ingram-trade-signals-desire-compete-next-year">he agreed to a three-year, $120 million contract extension</a>, securing his long-term future with the Raptors.</p><p>Toronto had been actively seeking value in return for expiring contracts, including Brown and Davion Mitchell. Brown, who was a key part of the Siakam trade to Indiana in January, was flipped to the Pelicans, while <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/heat-news-new-players-from-jimmy-butler-trade-sound-off-on-heat-culture">Mitchell was later moved to the Miami Heat</a> in exchange for a second-round pick.</p><p>The Raptors currently hold a 17-37 record, sitting 13th in the Eastern Conference. Although they missed out on Hunter, their acquisition of Ingram reflects the franchise’s effort to build around Scottie Barnes while remaining competitive. With Hunter now in Cleveland, Toronto will face him on Wednesday night as part of a Cavaliers team that has emerged as a legitimate contender this season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Cavs <a href="https://www.espn.com.au/nba/recap?gameId=401705321" rel="noopener">dominated early</a>, forcing the Timberwolves into 16 consecutive misses and racing out to a 16-0 lead within the first seven minutes.</p><p>It wasn’t until the 4:56 mark that Minnesota managed to score, courtesy of a free throw by Rudy Gobert. The Wolves struggled to find their rhythm, with All-Star guard Anthony Edwards hitting a three-pointer nine minutes into the game for their first field goal, bringing their total to just eight points. This kept them from matching the lowest-scoring quarter in Cavs history, a dubious record held by the 1995 New Jersey Nets, who only managed seven points.</p><p>Minnesota had only two successful shots by the end of the first quarter, making the Cavs the first team this season to hold an opponent to two or fewer field goals in a quarter. Hunter’s size and the defensive prowess of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley created a nearly impenetrable defense for Cleveland. They limited the Timberwolves to 12 points in the first quarter, while the Cavs surged ahead with a commanding 30-12 lead.</p><p>“[It was] kind of what we envisioned,” said Cavs head coach Kenny Atkinson about Hunter’s debut. “Our physicality, his activity, you know, size. You just felt it.”</p><h2><b>What is the Cavs’ potential with De’Andre Hunter?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/DeAndre-Hunter-Cavs-Timberwolves.jpg"><figcaption>David Richard-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Hunter had a standout impact on the Cavs beyond his defensive prowess. The forward showcased his shooting skills by hitting 3 of 4 from beyond the arc, contributing 12 points in just 23 minutes on the court.</p><p>His first basket, an electrifying three-pointer, nearly lifted the roof off Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, extending Cleveland’s lead to a commanding 26 points. It was a moment that highlighted Hunter’s arrival and ensured he received a warm, enthusiastic welcome from Cavs fans.</p><p>“Oh, it was great,” Hunter said when asked about the reception. “[It’s] always good to feel love, especially as a player. You know, I can’t thank them enough.”</p><p>Even though it was just his first game in a Cavs uniform, Hunter’s performance is a promising sign for the team’s future. He can potentially address a gap that has plagued the roster for years.  It remains to be seen if he can completely fill that void. However, if Hunter can keep up this momentum, it could pave the way for something special for the Cavs.</p><p>“I mean, what’s possible is a championship,” said Evan Mobley. “I feel like we have that caliber team. And we’re on that track right now. So, that’s the whole goal. Adding a player like that, I feel like it just boosts us even more.”</p><h2><b>How can Cleveland reach championship status with De’Andre Hunter on the roster?</b></h2><p>To become NBA Champions, the Cavs must rise to the occasion. That means the pressure is on the players to perform at their best. This also extends to Atkinson and his coaching staff, who are tasked with maximizing the potential of their new addition, De’Andre Hunter.</p><p>The good news? Hunter believes that blending in with this team won’t be a significant challenge.</p><p>“I think it’ll be pretty easy,” Hunter said about the adjustment. “When you have teammates like Don, DG, and Evan, you know, guys that are unselfish and really talented, I think it’ll be pretty easy for me.”</p><p>On paper, De’Andre Hunter’s skill set is a game-changer for the Cavs, offering a new level of versatility and options that the team hasn’t explored before.</p><p>Once the squad is fully healthy, Atkinson is eager to unleash Hunter’s talents across the court. Expect to see Hunter in various roles. Whether as a shooting guard in larger lineups or even taking a spot at power forward or center in smaller ones. Hunter’s unique abilities add an exciting layer of unpredictability to a team already known for its dynamism.</p><p>Cleveland’s flexibility and creativity have long been trademarks of Atkinson’s coaching philosophy. But with Hunter joining the ranks, the Cavs are primed for a significant upgrade in their gameplay. This infusion of talent could position the Cavs as serious contenders in the championship race, making them one of the NBA’s most intriguing teams to watch as they aim for greatness.</p><p>As the season unfolds, all eyes will be on Hunter and the Cavs as they embark on this promising journey. The blend of skill, teamwork, and ambition could lead them to fulfill their championship dreams.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
