The wait is over, and on Wednesday night the Wine & Gold tip off the 2021-22 campaign at the FedEx Forum in Memphis.
Tonight’s contest marks the debut of Evan Mobley, the first time Isaac Okoro will play in front of a full house and the initial look at a re-tooled Cavaliers squad, including key offseason acquisitions, Lauri Markkanen and Ricky Rubio.
Mobley was very good in the preseason, posting the team’s lone double-double (15pts, 10reb vs. CHI) while leading Cleveland in rebounding and blocks. Collin Sexton comes into his fourth season after leading the team in scoring during the previous two.
