400th Game

You may have heard that Tristan Thompson has the longest streak of games played in the NBA right now. With 370 consecutive games, Thompson leads all players in the NBA and also holds the Cavs’ franchise record for consecutive games played. Not only can Thompson continue this streak, but he can also hit a milestone in games played.

He played all 82 games in each of the past four seasons and played 60 his rookie year, which comes to a total of 388 games. With just 12 more, Thompson can play in his 400th game. And with an average of 77.6 games per year, he can wind upwell past the 400th mark with 465.6. But we’re hoping Tristan can keep his streak alive and play all 82 games, which would put him at 470 by the end of the year.
