Donovan Mitchell Becomes 3rd Cleveland Cavaliers Player Ever to Earn 1st-Team All-NBA Honors, Evan Mobley Makes 2nd Team
- Donovan Mitchell earned his first All-NBA first team honor while Evan Mobley made the second team on May 23 in Cleveland, Ohio.
- The Cavaliers' recognition comes after a season with injuries and a playoff loss to the Indiana Pacers, ending a historic run that included a dominant first-round sweep.
- Mitchell averaged 24 points over 71 games with reduced minutes to benefit the team, while Mobley, in his fourth season, became the franchise’s defensive standout and a key future asset.
- Cavs president Koby Altman praised Mitchell’s sacrifices, calling him a player who could have chased MVP but chose team success, and coach Kenny Atkinson called him 'a superstar that's doing the dirty work.'
- Although the individual accolades mark the third time two Cavaliers earned All-NBA honors in a season, the team aims to convert this recognition into deeper playoff success in the future.
