Evan Mobley’s All-Star selection might seem like it took a while, but in a world of instant gratification, his development is a reminder that greatness often takes time. But he is in a rare club among legends like Kobe Bryant and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become an All-Star, make an All-Defensive team, and play on a 60-win team all before turning 24. But Evan’s All-Star debut isn’t just one of his professional feats.

Upon the announcement of All-Star reserves, his dad, Eric Mobley, who’s coaching the Mustangs at SMU and molded young Evan to basketball greatness, got “a little teary-eyed.” Expressing his excitement, he said, “The whole process, just from day one of him starting to play basketball and getting to the point where he’s at now, was just so shocking to me. It was like, ‘Whoa!’ I still remember when he was in middle school, a skinny, lanky kid.”

Over the years, Mobley has become an important piece of his team, and the Cavaliers have rewarded him, rightfully so. Let’s take a look at the details of his contract, career earnings, and his upcoming contract with the team.

Last year, around July, reports surfaced that the Cavaliers had extended Mobley’s contract for 5 years. The lucrative deal worth $224 million is set to begin in the upcoming 2025-26 season. The terms of this new deal project a salary of $38 million for the next 2025-26 season. For the following seasons, Mobley will start with $41 million, reaching up to $51 million only in salaries by the time his contract extension expires. By 2030, Evan will become a free agent, spending almost 9-10 years with his current team.

His career earnings are estimated to be around $36.6 million, all coming in from salaries. Speaking of his career earnings, Mobley’s net worth is hard to calculate as he’s signed undisclosed deals with brands such as Adidas, Panini, AT&T, New Era Cap, and Chipotle.

Some online sources have estimated Mobley’s net worth to be around $15 million. His assets include a lakeside villa in Cleveland and some swanky cars, such as a Dodge/SRT Charger and a Mercedes-AMG GLE Coupe, with some other classic cars as well. Evan’s upcoming contract reveals that he is on his way to becoming one of the most seasoned players in the league. Koby Alman, the President of Basketball Operations, has expressed his confidence in the player.

“Evan has quickly established himself as one of the premier defensive players in the league, and we’ve only scratched the surface of his overall potential. Since drafting him, he only knows winning basketball and has proven to be pivotal to our team’s success. His exceptional work ethic, versatility, and commitment to excellence both on and off the court truly embody what it means to be a Cleveland Cavalier.”

This upcoming deal speaks volumes about the Cavs’ commitment to Evan and their belief in his potential. His potential seems limitless as he continues to grow and develop as a player. The coming years will reveal the full scope of his impact on the team and the league as a whole, but one thing is clear: Mobley is a force to be reckoned with.
