The 2022–23 Cleveland Cavaliers season is the 53rd season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). This season, the Cavaliers made a blockbuster move to bring Donovan Mitchell to the Cavaliers in exchange for Ochai Agbaji, Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen and future picks. The Cavaliers matched their win total of the previous season with a 120–104 win over the Charlotte Hornets to improve to 44–27. The Cavaliers qualified for the postseason for the first time since 2018, and the first time without LeBron James on their roster since 1998.[1]
