Maybe it means something, maybe it means nothing, but Caris LeVert has the same color practice jersey on as Mitchell, Garland, and Evan Mobley.
Isaac Okoro does not. – 12:41 PM

More on this storyline
Bickerstaff doesn’t think that’s too much on Mitchell’s plate because he will have Garland, Mobley, center Jarrett Allen and guard Caris LeVert to help carry the scoring load. “He wants to do it. He understands the identity of this team,” Bickerstaff said of Mitchell after practice at Cleveland Clinic Courts. “[He’s] a guy who wants to be a part of it and doesn’t isolate or separate himself. But he’s also got a lot of help on the offensive end. “I don’t think he’s going to have to carry as large of a burden as he has in the past. You put him together with Darius, who last year carried a hell of a burden himself. Now, you can pull that back, and again, you can kind of ping pong it so one guy doesn’t have to feel like they’re out there by themselves.” -via Akron Beacon Journal / October 19, 2022
Chris Fedor: #Cavs Caris LeVert will not play in tonight’s game, sources tell @clevelanddotcom. The idea is to give LeVert a day off while also allowing some other guys to play. With LeVert OUT, Isaac Okoro will start at small forward, I’m told. -via Twitter @ChrisFedor / October 12, 2022
It’s time for LeVert to sacrifice on offense and channel his inner stopper once again. He knows it. “That’ll definitely be something I’m gonna have to lock in on. I have been locked in on it for the past couple of weeks, just knowing that I’m gonna have a big assignment every night on that end of the floor,” LeVert said following practice on Thursday afternoon. “It’s something I look forward to and it’s something I like doing.” -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / October 10, 2022
