Cleveland Cavaliers head coach J.B. Bickerstaff says center Evan Mobley (knee) is no longer on a minutes restriction. Following mid-December arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, Mobley missed a month and half of action but has averaged 15.3 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 1.9 combined steals plus blocks in 25.8 minutes during nine games since Jan. 29 while notching third-round fantasy value in nine-category leagues across this stretch. The 22-year-old star big man draws a tough matchup against the Orlando Magic on Thursday, and despite this clash pitting two top-five defenses against each other, he will be worthy of DFS attention with a sub-$7,000 salary on DraftKings.
Cleveland Cavaliers center Evan Mobley (knee) is out for Thursday's tilt against the Memphis Grizzlies. This is a bit of a surprise, considering head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said following Wednesday's win over the Detroit Pistons that the plan was for Mobley to play on Thursday. The Cavs will instead err on the side of caution and manage the left knee of the 22-year-old former No. 3 overall pick, who had been sidelined since early December before returning to play on Monday following arthroscopic surgery. Dean Wade and Isaac Okoro are candidates to return to Cleveland's starting five against Memphis, with the latter being the more attractive fantasy option as a low-end streamer. Over 24 games as a starter this season, Okoro has averaged 10.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.1 threes.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (knee) is listed as questionable to play on Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. The up-and-coming big man hasn't played since December 6 after undergoing a knee surgery that was slated to keep him out for six to eight weeks. On Friday, reports came out that he could return in a week, so this would even be ahead of time according to that timetable. If he returns, it would likely be on a minute restriction which would limit his fantasy value in the short term. Jarrett Allen would also see the biggest hit in value with Mobley returning to the front court.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (knee) went through knee surgery after getting hurt in their game against the Orlando Magic on December 6. Since then, he's missed 21 consecutive games, but he's been progressing in the right direction. He's now been able to pass a lot of the steps needed to get back on the court and he's continuing to ramp up his intensity in practice according to Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com. His return could potentially happen next week, but it would likely mean Mobley gets a minute restriction as well. If he is able to return, it would likely affect Jarrett Allen's fantasy value. He's been excellent while Mobley has been out, but his presence is likely to take away some scoring, boards, and even blocks.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (knee) went through a conditioning workout before Monday's 109-91 win over the Chicago Bulls, and he hasn't faced any setbacks with his projected six-to-eight-week recovery timetable from arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. The Cavaliers held Mobley out for four straight games due to injury management for the issue, but they later announced on Dec. 15 that he required a procedure to remove loose bodies from his knee. Mobley has been sidelined for about four weeks and remains out indefinitely, but he is progressing. The 22-year-old former No. 3 overall pick will need to be cleared for basketball activities before any return to game action, so it may not be reasonable to expect him back before January's end. Jarrett Allen has really gotten going in Mobley's absence, averaging 18.1 points, 13.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 2.4 combined steals plus blocks over 13 games since Dec. 16.
