Since the start of the season, Evan Mobley has been a key contributor to the Cavaliers front court. On a nightly basis, he has stuffed the stat sheet. Now with his latest achievement, he has joined LeBron James in the Cavaliers record books.
On Friday night, as the Cavaliers take on the Oklahoma City Thunder, Mobley recorded the 1000th rebound of his career. Evan Mobley is the first Cavaliers player to record 1000 rebounds before their 21st birthday since James.
Heading into the fourth quarter of this Cavaliers-Thunder matchup, Mobley has dominated. He has recorded 21 points, eight rebounds, one assist, and one block.

Mobley is set to be a key piece in the future of this Cavaliers team. Alongside Evan Mobley, this core consists of Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Isaac Okoro, and Jarrett Allen.
