Evan Mobley's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (ankle) remains out on Monday against the Pacers. He's been out for a few weeks because of a sprained left ankle. That said, the Cavs currently hold the No. 3 spot in the Eastern Conference, with the Knicks in pursuit. However, Cleveland is hoping for a championship, so Mobley won't be rushed back, meaning he may not return for another week or two. Of course, Jarrett Allen will continue to do his best to handle business underneath the rim. But Georges Niang, averaging 13.1 points and 5.1 rebounds in seven starts this season, should continue to benefit from Mobley's absence. Niang has also shot 44.7% as a starter, which makes him an attractive category streaming option.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (ankle) is "likely to miss extended time." He sprained his left ankle while finishing a dunk during Tuesday's clash with the Boston Celtics and was ruled out shortly after. The 22-year-old has been reliable for fantasy managers when available, averaging 15.9 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks. However, he's suffered various injuries this season, including sitting out over a month because of a knee issue. Although Mobley could be back sometime in the next few weeks, it may not be soon enough for fantasy managers, considering most leagues are in the playoffs. But until he returns, Georges Niang and Dean Wade will likely handle most of the void left at the four spot.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Evan Mobley (ankle) is set to miss at least one week of action. Mobley was forced to exit early on Tuesday after spraining his ankle during the third quarter of that contest. The team announced that Mobley would be shut down and re-evaluated in one week. The loss of Mobley should mean increased fantasy value for Jarrett Allen. Also, Dean Wade and Georges Niang should see bigger roles. Both players are worth looking at in deep leagues.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Evan Mobley (ankle) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. After spraining his left ankle in Tuesday's narrow win over the Boston Celtics, Mobley will sit out on the second end of Cleveland's back-to-back. Friday's showdown versus the first-place Minnesota Timberwolves marks the star big man's next chance to return. In Mobley's absence, Jarrett Allen should dominate center minutes, while sixth man Caris LeVert sees more run from the Cavs bench against a Hawks team that ranks dead last in defensive efficiency rating (117.6) this season.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Evan Mobley (ankle) won't return to Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Mobley tweaked his ankle during the third quarter of this game and won't return. The hope is that it's a minor ankle sprain, but the team will likely do further testing following the contest. In the meantime, Dean Wade and Georges Niang should see increased playing time down the stretch of this game. Neither would be worth rostering in fantasy formats if Mobley is forced to miss more time.
