Cavs release preseason schedule

The Cavs will be back in action during the first week of October.

The NBA regular season schedule hasn’t been released yet. But we do know when the Cleveland Cavaliers will next take the court.

Cleveland’s preseason schedule was announced earlier today. The dates and time can be seen below:

• Home vs. the Chicago Bulls - Tuesday, Oct. 7, 7 P.M.
• Away vs. Chicago - Thursday, Oct. 9, 8 P.M.
• Away vs. the Boston Celtics - Sunday, Oct. 12, 7 P.M.
• Home vs. the Detroit Pistons - Tuesday, Oct. 14, 7 P.M.

There isn’t too much that immediately jumps out about this schedule. These are just preseason games. The opponent doesn’t matter too much in this context. The Cavs went 0-4 last preseason and then went on to win their first 15 games of the regular season. So, there isn’t too much to take away from the results.

One thing I would note is that the Cavs don’t have to wait long to face former teammate Isaac Okoro. He’ll get two opportunities to go against his former team with the Cavs taking on the Bulls twice in a row to open the exhibition slate. The same is true for Lonzo Ball.

We still have over two months before the preseason starts. Before then, we’ll have media day and the start of training camp. We are getting closer to basketball starting up again.
