28,000th Minute Played

With 933 games played and a career average of 28.4 minutes per game, Dunleavy has quite a few minutes under his belt. He’s currently played 26,499, so he’ll definitely hit the 26,500th minute mark. But he can reach even more if he plays his career average of minutes and over his career average of 66 games per year. At that rate, Dunleavy can reach 28,000 minutes and specifically, he can reach over 28,300 minutes. And with Dunleavy’s versatility, the Cavs are sure to use him as much as they can (with his health permitting).
