Breaking: The Cleveland Cavaliers plan to move the practice facility to downtown flats.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are planning to move their practices to the heart of downtown.

The FOX 8 I-Team was the first to break the news.

The I-Team reported the news ahead of a joint announcement from the Cavs, Cleveland Clinic, and Bedrock, a real estate firm, of plans to build “one of the world’s largest and most cutting-edge interdisciplinary training centers” in downtown Cleveland.

According to the release, the center would be a “top-notch landing place” for athletes from a variety of sports offering personalized expert guidance in training, treatment, nutrition, and recovery from Cleveland Clinic professionals.

“Our vision for the Cleveland Clinic Global Peak Performance Center is to serve as more than just a practice or training facility. By creating a sustainable hub of resources to serve our players, we have an opportunity to retain and attract the league’s top talent, strengthen the life-span of their careers, and help them reach their highest potential. These plans represent a substantial investment in the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Championship Culture.” said Koby Altman, President of Basketball Operations for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Mayor Justin Bibb said in a statement, “We are thrilled to have our Cavaliers training here in Cleveland and looking forward to seeing this state-of-the-art facility come to life. Our ongoing partnership with Bedrock on the Cuyahoga Riverfront Master Plan really lays the foundation for innovation and transformational projects and we are excited to continue this growth and momentum.”
