Lonzo Ball has spoken out for the first time since news of his trade to the Cleveland Cavaliers broke, expressing his excitement for the next chapter of his career.
The former Chicago Bulls guard took to social media to share a simple but powerful message: “It’s up”, hinting at his readiness to embrace the challenge ahead with the Cavaliers. The statement came shortly after Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell welcomed Ball to the team with a post on Instagram, which quickly went viral among NBA fans.
Ball, 26, has not played in an NBA game since January 2022 due to a series of knee surgeries that derailed his promising career. Despite the setbacks, he has remained focused on his rehabilitation and is reportedly making strong progress toward a return.
The trade sending Ball to Cleveland is seen as a bold move by the Cavaliers’ front office, pairing him with Mitchell and Darius Garland in what could become one of the league’s most dynamic backcourts—if Ball can stay healthy.
Fans in Cleveland have already flooded social media with messages of support for Ball, eager to see him make his long-awaited comeback in a Cavaliers uniform.
As training camp approaches, all eyes will be on Lonzo Ball to see if he can regain his form and help propel the Cavs deeper into the Eastern Conference playoff race.
