While Isaac Okoro’s future with the Cleveland Cavaliers is still very much up in the air, the wing could be seen wearing Cavaliers gear while working out with star guard Donovan Mitchell in a recent Instagram story posted by the latter.

The Auburn University product stands out as arguably the best restricted free agent left on the market. It’s worth noting that fellow wing Emoni Bates — who split time in the 2023-24 season between the Cavs and the Cleveland Charge — is also a restricted free agent.

The Cavaliers have made some major moves over the past few weeks. First, the team inked Mitchell to a three-year, $150.3 million extension. Then, Cleveland signed big man Evan Mobley to a five-year extension.

It remains to be seen if the Cavaliers’ next big move will be to sign Okoro, but he has yet to prove that he was worthy of being selected ahead of the likes of Haliburton, Vassell, Avdija and others in the 2020 NBA Draft.

Okoro has averaged just 8.5 points per game for his pro career and has yet to average double digits in points in any single season since joining the NBA. He averaged 9.4 points per contest on 49.0 percent shooting from the floor and 39.1 percent shooting from deep in the 2023-24 regular season.
