The Cleveland Cavaliers have announced that on March 8, 2014, that the number 11 of former Center, Zydrunas Ilgauskas will be retired.
“Z” played twelve seasons with Cleveland and is the franchise leader in blocks. Twice he was named to the All-Star team (2003 & 2005) and was a consistent leader in the NBA in Offensive Rebounds, leading the league in that category in 2005. Although he was never considered the best at his position, he was in that elite category.
During his time in a Cavaliers uniform, Ilgauskas became one of the most popular players. He becomes the seventh player on Cavs history to have his jersey retired joining Austin Carr, Nate Thurmond, Bobby “Bingo” Smith, Larry Nance, Brad Daugherty and Mark Price
