Cleveland Cavaliers

Mitchell's choice to commit to the Cavaliers had been expected for some time.

In choosing the respected Atkinson, the Cavs ended a month-long search that began after the firing of J.B. Bickerstaff, who led the team to 99 wins the past two seasons.

The Cavaliers are set to hire Kenny Atkinson as head coach, replacing J.B. Bickerstaff, leaning on his player development credentials and time with Golden State.

Kenny Atkinson, an assistant with Golden State who helped Brooklyn rebuild before a puzzling departure, will be Cleveland's new coach, a person familiar with decision told The Associated Press on Monday.

The Cavs are considering many candidates as the head coaching search approaches its third week. Ideastream Public Media’s sports commentator Terry Pluto talks about a few names on the growing list.

Before starting his summer break, Donovan Mitchell let the Cavaliers know he's happy in Cleveland and excited about the future. With a new coach.

J.B. Bickerstaff was fired as Cleveland's coach on Thursday despite leading the Cavaliers through an injury-ravaged season and into the second round of the NBA playoffs.

Ideastream Public Media sports commentator Terry Pluto says the Cavs need other players to step up to support Donovan Mitchell after a Game 1 blowout in Boston.

Ideastream Public Media's sports commentator Terry Pluto said the Cavs came together to grind out the win without one of their best players, Jarrett Allen, who was out with a rib injury.

After losing to the Knicks in five games last year, the Cavs must win this year's first-round matchup against a young Orlando Magic team, said Ideastream Public Media's sports commentator Terry Pluto.
