The Cleveland Cavaliers reportedly trading for Lonzo Ball has made Ty Jerome returning to the organization in free agency unlikely, according to NBA insider <a href=" Fischer.

Ball reportedly heads to Cleveland after playing in his 1st season since missing the previous 2 seasons with injuries.

The Cavs struck an agreement June 28 to trade small forward Isaac Okoro to the Chicago Bulls for point guard Lonzo Ball, an NBA source confirmed for the Beacon Journal. The move comes less than a year after the Cavs gave Okoro a three-year, $33 million contract extension in September 2024.
