"The Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed to trade Lonzo Ball and two second-round draft picks to the Utah Jazz, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania. Ball's agent, Rich Paul, and the Jazz are expected to discuss his future soon, sources told Charania. Utah agreed to another trade Wednesday, sending center Jock Landale to the Atlanta Hawks for cash considerations, sources told Charania."
"Ball made an unprecedented return from three arthroscopic knee surgeries last season, appearing in his first NBA game in over 1,000 days in October 2024. After a run of solid play, Ball was rewarded with a contract extension from the Chicago Bulls and then later traded to the Cavaliers over the summer for Isaac Okoro. Ball, 28, has struggled in Cleveland, however, averaging a career-low 4.6 points while shooting just 30% from the field and below 30% from 3."

Utah also sent center Jock Landale to the Atlanta Hawks for cash considerations. Those moves followed Utah's acquisition of Jaren Jackson Jr. in an eight-player deal with the Memphis Grizzlies, with Landale moved from Memphis to Utah as part of that sequence. Ball returned from three arthroscopic knee surgeries, earned a contract extension with Chicago, was later traded for Isaac Okoro, and has struggled in Cleveland, averaging 4.6 points on roughly 30% shooting. Ball is owed $10 million next season and will become a free agent in 2027.
