Cavs’ Isaac Okoro Responds to His ‘Last Woj Bomb’ Following Adrian Wojnarowski’s Retirement | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats & Rumors

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Isaac Okoro was the latest player to be the subject of a breaking news report from ESPN insider Adrian Wojnarowski.

Wojnarowski reported on Okoro’s three-year, $38 million contract extension with the Cavaliers four days before announcing his retirement from ESPN.

“Last Woj bomb,” Okoro wrote alongside a shrugging emoji following Wojnarowski’s retirement on Wednesday.

According to a report from ESPN, Wojnarowski’s latest news story was shared with him by Okoro’s agents. Tim Bontemps.

Cavaliers president of basketball operations Koby Altman made it official that Okoro would re-sign three days after Wojnarowski’s announcement.

Okoro, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2020 draft, is entering his fifth season in Cleveland and will likely be inserted into the Cavaliers’ lineup this fall as a backup to Max Strus.

Last season, Okoro established himself as a key perimeter defender for the Cavaliers, making 69 regular-season appearances, including 42 as a starter. He averaged 9.4 points and shot a career-best 39.1 percent from three-point range en route to overtime.

By signing Okoro and adding more players to the bench behind a starting lineup that features the recently re-signed Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley, who will be coached by former Golden State Warriors head coach Kenny Atkinson, the Cavaliers hope to follow up last season’s trip to the conference semifinals with a deeper playoff run next spring.

The former NBA insider’s responsibilities with St. Bonaventure will include NIL deal management and corporate relations in addition to managing the transfer portal, recruiting and fundraising, the school said. A10 University said in a statement that Wojnarowski’s “global network of connections in the basketball world will be an invaluable asset to the program.”
