- Despite missing games last season due to injury, Mobley posted career highs in rebounds, assists, and steals.
- The Cavaliers hired Kenny Atkinson as head coach to further develop Mobley's offensive game.
- Cleveland's salary cap situation remains manageable despite the lucrative extension, allowing flexibility for future roster moves.
