According to a person familiar with the matter, the Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed to acquire guard Lonzo Ball from the Chicago Bulls in exchange for forward Isaac Okoro.

The person was interviewed by the Associated Press on Saturday, anonymously, as the deal won’t be finalized until July 6th of the new league year.

Bauer averaged 7.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 35 games last season after he missed the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons due to a left knee injury. Ball, 27, underwent meniscus and cartilage transplants in March 2023 after two previous surgeries failed to fix the injuries he suffered in his first season in Chicago in 2021-22.

Bauer was the second pick in the 2017 draft for the Los Angeles Lakers, missing the final two months of the season due to a sprained right wrist. He has one year left on his contract and has team options for the 2026-27 season.
