ESPN reported Saturday that Evan Mobley and the Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed to a five-year, $224 million contract extension that could be worth up to $269 million.
Last season, Mobley averaged 15.7 points, 9.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game while shooting 58.0/37.3/71.9. He was limited to 50 regular-season games due to knee and ankle injuries.
Mobley earned All-Rookie honors in 2021-22 and All-Defensive honors in 2022-23. Cleveland selected Mobley with the third pick in the 2021 NBA Draft out of USC. Earlier this offseason, the Cavaliers extended five-time All-Star Donovan Mitchell to a three-year, $150.3 million contract.
The Cavaliers finished last season with a 48-34 record, good for the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference. After beating the Orlando Magic in seven games in the first round, Cleveland lost in five games to the NBA champion Boston Celtics in the semifinals.
Cleveland recently fired JB Bickerstaff after four seasons as head coach and hired Kenny Atkinson, former head coach of the Golden State Warriors and head coach of the Brooklyn Nets.
