Ball was at the Cleveland Cavaliers’ practice complex meeting with the medical staff and coaches on Monday after his trade from the Chicago Bulls for forward Isaac Okoro was finalized on Sunday. Chicago and Cleveland agreed to the trade on June 28, but it didn’t become official until the start of the new league year on Sunday.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — You’re Lonzo Ball. You stand in front of the media at the Cavaliers’ practice facility. You are quiet and thoughtful. You’re excited to be with a new team, a good team. You are hopeful you can stay healthy.

After a recent trade, Lonzo Ball knows he and his Cavs teammates have plenty of work to get done. "We should all be focused on getting to a ring."
