It was a solid team effort from the Cavs, <a href="https://cavsnation.com/news/cavs-news-kenny-atkinson-french-bold-prediction-lonzo-ball">led by point guard Lonzo Ball</a>, who scored nine points to go along with nine assists and four rebounds, putting in some excellent defense on the way.</p><p>Throughout the evening, Ball made some excellent passes as well as steals on the defensive end of the floor, and Cavs fans on an NBA Subreddit couldn’t contain their excitement.</p><p>“Not even trying to joke. Lonzo’s playmaking, 3 point shooting, and 40 inch vert (lol), were what made him such an interesting PG prospect. Even if he’s only 75% of what he used to be, I believed he was going to be a huge positive for whoever got him. Sticking him on the Cavs? One of the best moves of the offseason imo,” wrote one fan.</p><p>“Probably the best I’ve seen him look since the injury, a menace in transition again and ridiculous passing,” added another.</p><p>One fan made a historical comparison for him.</p><p>“Lonzo probably has lost 30 percent of his athleticism, but dude is a braniac. hes like mavericks jason kidd if healthy (still less athletic),” they wrote.</p><h2><b>A big piece for the Cavs</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.cavsnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Cavs-guard-Lonzo-Ball-2-during-media-day.jpg"><figcaption>© Ken Blaze-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://cavsnation.com/news/cavs-rumors-ty-jerome-likely-gone-after-lonzo-ball-trade-sam-merrill-contract">The Cavs acquired</a> Lonzo Ball this offseason, sending Isaac Okoro to the Chicago Bulls in return. As the fans on Reddit noted, Ball is no longer close to the same athlete that he was during his early days in the NBA with the Los Angeles Lakers. However, he still has every bit of the same basketball IQ, and can knock down threes and defend at an elite level.</p><p>The backup point guard position has been a key one for contending NBA teams in recent years, with players like Rajon Rondo turning back the clock in recent years and helping their teams win championships.

Despite being two division rivals, the two teams clearly have a good working relationship. This was evident in how they managed to strike a trade this past offseason, with the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/cleveland-cavaliers/lonzo-ball-isaac-okoro-trade-essential-cavs-bulls-kenny-atkinson-billy-donovan">Bulls sending Lonzo Ball to the Cavs</a> in exchange for former fourth overall pick Isaac Okoro.</p><p>Ball was a part of the Bulls roster for four seasons, although he did play in just a total of 70 games for the franchise after knee injuries rendered him a shell of his former self and prevented him from suiting up for two full seasons. This made his return to the hardwood last season all the more celebrated, as it was a big deal that he was able to get himself back to NBA form after some initial fears that he may not be able to walk again.</p><p>On Thursday night, with the game being at United Center, they wasted no time showing love to one of their former players — with the Bulls <a href="https://twitter.com/Will_Gottlieb/status/1976443578390827116" rel="noopener">playing a video package</a> to celebrate Ball’s return at his old stomping grounds (via Will Gottlieb of CHGO).</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Bulls give a nice video tribute to Lonzo Ball in his return to the UC <a href="https://t.co/St70g6H6D9">pic.twitter.com/St70g6H6D9</a></p><p>— Will Gottlieb (@Will_Gottlieb) <a href="https://twitter.com/Will_Gottlieb/status/1976443578390827116?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 10, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>A lot of Ball’s impact on the court cannot be measured on the box score, and his arrival in 2021 set a winning culture for the franchise. It did help that the Bulls also brought in DeMar DeRozan during that offseason, but Ball was a difference-maker on the defensive end, and he did so many little things to help his team win, like fight for loose balls and be a reliable floor-spacer.</p><p>The 2021-22 Bulls <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask?q=bulls+record+21-22+with+lonzo+ball" rel="noopener">went 22-13</a> with Ball in the lineup and 24-23 without him. It’s no coincidence that the Bulls struggled to compete even in the weaker East when Ball was on the mend, nursing a knee injury.</p><h2><b>Bulls move on from Lonzo Ball as he moves on to a contender</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/New-Cleveland-Cavaliers-guard-Lonzo-Ball.jpg"><figcaption>Rick Osentoski-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>The Cavs definitely have high hopes for Ball and how healthy he would be this upcoming season if they were confident enough to trade away Okoro, a rotation fixture and a beloved locker-room member, for him.</p><p>Meanwhile, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-rumors-coby-white-chicago-new-contract">Bulls are trusting the youth</a>, with Josh Giddey, Coby White, and Matas Buzelis expected to lead the team from here on out. Noa Essengue has shown flashes of being a two-way force as well. But this Bulls squad definitely needs a lot more pieces to be a legitimate playoff team out East.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Both players were drafted in 2017 and have followed parallel paths in the league, though Ball’s recent seasons were marred by injury. Now healthy, Ball joins a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/cleveland-cavaliers/cavs-news-kenny-atkinson-coach-of-the-year-historic-64-win-season">Cleveland squad coming off a 64-win season</a> and looking to strengthen its depth ahead of the regular season opener against the New York Knicks on October 22 at Madison Square Garden.</p><p>“He’s a guy that we got drafted together, same class – you look at especially when he was healthy, what he was doing in Chicago,” Mitchell said. “Quick outlets. He’s a defender. His three ball has gotten better. He just is a leader on that floor.”</p><p>Ball is expected to back up starting point guard Darius Garland and serve as the primary facilitator for the Cavaliers’ second unit. His presence could stabilize the offense when the starters rest and offer defensive intensity on the perimeter.</p><p>“He’s obviously playing back up to DG and when he’s in that second unit just being able to facilitate, get guys easy looks,” Mitchell added. “Now on the defensive end. He’s a pest, man. He’s all over the ball. And you got Evan [Mobley] and [Jarrett Allen] behind you, man, that definitely. It feels different for sure.”</p><h2>Donovan Mitchell discusses Lonzo Ball’s role with Cavaliers entering 2025-26 season</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Lonzo-Ball-talks-to-Chicago-Bulls-Head-Coach-Billy-Donovan-during-the-first-half-at-Rocket-Arena.jpg"><figcaption>Ken Blaze-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Ball, 27, returned last season with the Chicago Bulls after missing two full years due to knee issues. He averaged 7.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.3 steals in 22.2 minutes per game across 35 appearances. While not matching the production of his peak years, Ball’s court vision and defensive effort remained intact.</p><p>His most productive season came in 2021-22 with the New Orleans Pelicans, where he averaged 14.6 points, 5.7 assists, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.5 steals while shooting 37.8% from three over 55 games.</p><p>Mitchell also commented on the shifting landscape of the Eastern Conference ahead of the new season. Injuries to key stars have altered the hierarchy, with Boston’s Jayson Tatum and Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton both suffering torn Achilles tendons. Mitchell acknowledged the uncertainty and opportunity these developments present.</p><p>“Yeah, it’s wild and you have been longer than I have – you’ve seen it, like this everything changes,” Mitchell said. “The team that won the Eastern Conference Finals, they’ve lost Myles [Turner], obviously Tyrese… JT… he’s out. Boston shopping some guys around… the dynamics are going to change.”</p><p>As the Cavaliers prepare for their opener in New York on national television, Ball’s role off the bench could be a significant factor in Cleveland’s push for a deeper playoff run in the 2025-26 campaign.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As usual, Lonzo Ball shared a laugh with Billy Donovan during a break in the action. But instead of pulling up in the Cleveland Cavaliers’ player garage, Okoro rode a bus and had a shorter walk to the visitors’ side. Instead of traveling a few hours east, Ball drove downtown and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/cleveland-cavaliers/cavs-news-training-camp-lonzo-ball-shares-plan-stay-fresh-tyrese-proctor">strolled into his new locker room</a>.</p><p>Ball made his unofficial Cavs debut the same night Okoro <a href="https://www.nba.com/game/chi-vs-cle-0012500035/box-score">returned to the only basketball home he’s known</a> since being drafted in 2020.</p><p>“It was some mixed emotions,” Okoro told reporters after the Chicago Bulls defeated his old team 118-117 on Tuesday night. “It’s a preseason game right now, so it hasn’t all hit me. But it was good seeing the guys. I’ve been with them for five years, so seeing them was definitely a good feeling for me. Being back on the court, it was a good feeling. So all in all, it was good.”</p><p>Cleveland and Chicago agreed on a one-for-one swap of Okoro and Ball on June 28, and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/chicago-bulls-grade-lonzo-ball-isaac-okoro-trade">the trade was made official on July 6</a>.</p><p>“I feel like they got a great player in Lonzo, and the Bulls got me,” Okoro said. “It felt like both of the teams got what they needed for their team, and all in all, it was good.”</p><p>“I was just excited,” Ball said on Cavs Media Day of his reaction. “I mean, no hard feelings with Chicago. A lot of love for them as well, but happy to be in Cleveland now, happy to be on this team and do what I can to compete for a championship.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Isaac Okoro gets a huge hand from <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Cavs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Cavs</a> fans in Rocket Arena and a hug from Moondog during pregame intros 👏 <a href="https://t.co/5NMjFIdq7g">pic.twitter.com/5NMjFIdq7g</a></p><p>— Spencer Davies (@SpinDavies) <a href="https://twitter.com/SpinDavies/status/1975699886763815422?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 7, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><h2><b>Isaac Okoro earns rave reviews from both of his Cavs, Bulls coaches</b></h2><p>Before the game, Cavs head coach Kenny Atkinson sported a grin when prompted to address the deal for the first time and Okoro’s impact on the Cavs.</p><p>“You have your group of favorite players you coached; he’s in that bucket,” Atkinson said. “What a stellar human being, obviously gave a lot to this organization. Another guy who’s a part of this beautiful culture we have here. Those are tough when you lose a guy like that. Just a great, great person… Even-keeled, kind, coachable. Teammates loved him. Never complained. He’s one of those rare, rare breeds.</p><p>“And then, he was a defensive stopper. We have other guys that can defend; obviously, Lonzo can defend. But Ice was really, really a stopper. I’d love to find another guy on this team that can come close to replicating what he did on the defensive end… It’s a great opportunity for him. I know he’s probably gonna get more touches and more action, so I’m happy for him. He’s with a good organization, a really good coach.”</p><p>Atkinson referred to Okoro as “a coach’s dream,” a message he relayed to Bulls head coach Billy Donovan after the transaction was completed.</p><p>“He’s very, very grounded,” said Donovan, impressed by Okoro’s emotional consistency and comparing it to Ball’s. “We need another wing, physical defender, and things that he does do in terms of the offensive rebounding and guarding multiple positions. He’s been great to work with, got a really good spirit. I think he’s fit in very, very well with our team. I think the biggest thing for him is he understands who he is as a player, and he plays the game to his strengths.”</p><p>Donovan found everything that Atkinson was selling to be accurate firsthand. He is pleased with how Okoro plays the game, recognizing who he’s on the floor with and adjusting his role to fit the other four’s skill sets. Donovan was asked about the 24-year-old’s development with the Cavs and whether Chicago will give him more chances to showcase his capabilities offensively in a new system.</p><p>“When you look at Cleveland’s team last year, when you’ve got [Darius] Garland and [Donovan] Mitchell and [Evan] Mobley, he’s just not gonna be a primary option with those three guys,” Donovan told ClutchPoints. “But you know what, he cuts. To his credit, he really improved his three-point shooting from the corners. He’s certainly guarded all the best guys all over the place throughout his career. To say there’ll be more opportunity or not, I don’t know that necessarily with the way Isaac plays. He plays within himself.</p><p>“Certainly, if he’s open, we want him shooting the ball. If he’s got it out in transition, we want him to go in there. If he gets in the paint and doesn’t have [a look] at the rim, pass it. We want him to play basketball. The thing I’ve been impressed with since he’s been here is he always plays within himself. He plays to his strengths.”</p><p>Okoro opened Tuesday’s game in the Bulls’ starting lineup and guarded Mitchell, one of his most ardent supporters during his time in Northeast Ohio. He knocked down his first triple try from the right wing on a Josh Giddey pass. He’d hit one more from the left corner in the second quarter, going 2-for-6 from long distance. Okoro finished with 11 points, two assists, and two rebounds in 18 minutes.</p><p>He’d like to cut down on his five turnovers, but was happy Chicago came out with the victory. The Bulls will take on the Cavs again on Thursday evening at home, then come back to the shores of Lake Erie on November 8, only a month from now — when it counts.</p><p>“It’s a funny way in the business, but at the end of the day, I’m on the Chicago Bulls and I’m trying to bust Cleveland’s a** any day,” Okoro said.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Heard from Lonzo Ball on his impression of the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Cavs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Cavs</a> a week into camp, how he’s fit in so far and staying fresh throughout the season. <a href="https://t.co/19Rc8WEYif">pic.twitter.com/19Rc8WEYif</a></p><p>— Spencer Davies (@SpinDavies) <a href="https://twitter.com/SpinDavies/status/1975327306781761589?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 6, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><h2><b>Lonzo Ball comes with plenty of endorsements on each side, too.</b></h2><p>Basketball IQ is the common denominator between the two coaches’ affinity for Ball. On that same phone call, Atkinson recalls Donovan singing his praises.</p><p>“Billy just raved about him,” Atkinson said. “Raved about him in the locker room, what a great teammate he is, his incredible IQ. Then, the defensive chops that he has, the competitor that he is, it’s impressive. We’ve seen it already in training camp…”</p><p>In his pregame press conference, Donovan spoke glowingly of Ball’s time with the Bulls despite a tough-luck injury history.</p><p>“When the extension happened for Lonzo, I know he was very excited. I was very excited,” Donovan recalled of the veteran guard’s two-year, $20 million contract signed on February 25. “The thing that’s amazing to me is there’s times where he’s out for weeks at a time and he goes right back in the game. Certain guys, they get a little rust. He can just go back in there and just start playing just ’cause of his feel and his IQ. He can figure out ways to impact the game.”</p><p>Donovan clarified that Ball’s setback last year was a “fluke,” spraining his right wrist in early October 2024 and reaggravating it later. He couldn’t shoot the basketball and play how he was used to with such a sped-up recovery. It was his left knee, rather, that kept giving him problems for multiple seasons, to the point where he missed back-to-back campaigns from 2022-24.</p><p>But to Ball’s credit, he kept pushing forward no matter the obstacle.</p><p>“The thing that was so impressive to me was his ability to take whatever’s being thrown at him and not be fazed one bit,” Donovan said. “It’s like, ‘Okay, what is it? What’s next?’ And that’s just the way he always is. I’ve never seen his demeanor change. Now, I’m sure he has moments when the game’s taken away from you and you go through what he went through; certainly has moments. But in terms of around the guys and around me, it was one of the most impressive things I’ve ever witnessed.</p><p>“For a guy in the prime of his career, clearly on track to be one of the better point guards in the league, to have that happen and think you’ve got it solved, and another problem comes u,p and you think you have it solved, and another problem comes up. It was year after year after year, and he did whatever he had to do to get back on the court. He just wants to play. Whatever role he can play, he’ll play it.”</p><p>In his first media appearance with the Cavs over the summer, <a href="https://x.com/SpinDavies/status/1942363071663550825">Ball expressed his pride</a> in his knee’s performance in 2024-25, even with the wrist injury.</p><p>“After the games, I didn’t really know what to expect,” Ball said on July 7. “But when I first got back versus Minnesota in that preseason game, I was kind of surprised how good I was moving around, and then I felt like it just got better as the year went on.”</p><p>Donovan added that nobody was at fault for what happened in Chicago, and he is hopeful that Ball can finish the year and maintain his health with whatever Cleveland does to maintain his workload.</p><p>Atkinson and his staff plan to monitor and communicate that to him, with benchmarks on his performance and minutes sides. Part of that includes Ball not playing back-to-back games early in the season and ensuring he is good to go when the playoffs roll around.</p><p>“Our job is to manage him correctly,” Atkinson said. “But so far, so good in training camp. Hasn’t missed many drills, kinda in the middle of the pack in our conditioning stuff. It seems like he’s in a really good place.</p><p>“It’s funny, a guy with a pretty tough injury [history], he moves pretty well. There’s a reason this guy was a second overall pick in our league. He’s got great, great feet. Great anticipation. And obviously, he’s one of those guys that makes other people better, which is a coach’s dream, right? Makes other people better. He’s a fun guy to watch.”</p><p>It was a rough go for Ball in his unofficial Cavs debut, as he went scoreless with an assist and a turnover in 12 minutes. That’s to be expected for a guy who’s played in only 35 games the last three years and change, and especially common for a player getting acclimated to a new environment and different teammates.</p><p>Donovan tips his cap to Ball’s professionalism, skill set, and intelligence.</p><p>“I think because he’s so cerebral in the game, he’s never rattled because he’s so smart. Like, he knows all the answers to the test,” Donovan said. “So when you watch him play, there’s a great calmness to him. I think the other point too, he understands situations. When you’re in timeouts, he will be talking to guys about situational basketball. He probably had that gift; it’s evolved as he’s probably gotten older, but he’s really, really smart. He’s all about winning. He’s all about competing.</p><p>“He is a guy that gets way more pleasure from passing the ball than he does from scoring it. He wants to take care of everybody. He has a great pulse of what’s going on in the game. He understands time-score management. He’s just really, really smart and a great player… somebody asked me in Chicago when he was gonna come back and play last year, can he still have impact in a game? I’m like, ‘Oh yeah, absolutely.’ Whenever you put him out there, he can have an impact in the game.”</p><p>Only time will tell how this trade will or won’t work out for these NBA Central Division foes, but if the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/cleveland-cavaliers/cavs-news-training-camp-bonding-img-academy-lonzo-ball-impact">early returns in training camp</a> are any indication, it appears to be a match made in heaven.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Lonzo Ball on being a part of the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Cavs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Cavs</a>: “I couldn't ask for nothing better than this.

While the talent is undeniable, with his vision, speed, and high IQ, he has struggled to stay away from injuries. He hasn’t played more than 63 games in his career, including missing back-to-back campaigns from 2022 to 2024 due to a knee injury.</p><p>Last season, he played 35 games with the Chicago Bulls, averaging career-lows of 7.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.3 steals off the bench.</p><p>Still, the Cavaliers believed that <a href="https://cavaliersnation.com/2025/10/07/donovan-mitchell-says-lonzo-balls-basketball-iq-is-lebron-esq/">the 27-year-old Ball would be a good fit</a>, acquiring him in the offseason via a trade with the Bulls in exchange for Isaac Okoro.</p><p>In a report from Andscape’s Branson Wright, Cleveland coach Kenny Atkinson had to dig deep <a href="https://andscape.com/features/lonzo-ball-brings-perseverance-to-cleveland-cavaliers-after-years-of-injury/" rel="noopener">in his foreign vocabulary</a> when asked to describe Ball.</p><p>“He has that je ne sais quoi,” said Atkinson, using the French phrase, which means a quality that cannot be named easily.</p><p>“He just has that feel. I’m excited that he could be the guy that pushes us to the next level.”</p><p>Ball is expected to serve as backup to Darius Garland. Atkinson could also experiment by playing them together, giving the Cavaliers a faster-paced offense built on ball movement. The 6-foot-6 Ball has also proven to be a strong defender, especially in disrupting the passing lanes.</p><p>“I don’t know if anybody’s talking about his defense, but he’s a guy who gets you three steals in 10 minutes because his IQ is so good. He gets to a spot before anybody else. He just sees things early,” added Atkinson.</p><p>The arrival of Ball could fill the void left by Ty Jerome, who had a breakout campaign in Cleveland before signing with the Memphis Grizzlies in free agency.</p><p>The Cavaliers topped the Eastern Conference last season with a 64-18 record. They, however, got upset by the Indiana Pacers in the second round of the playoffs.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
