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

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (ankle) remains questionable for Sunday night's game versus Miami. Chris Fedor of The Plain Dealer posted a video on Sunday afternoon showing Mobley dribbling and attacking the basket, so it appears he has a strong chance to return for this one after missing the last nine games because of an ankle injury. It's logical to assume the 22-year-old could be limited in his first game back from a lengthy layoff. However, Mobley's presence, assuming he gets the green light, should still lower the fantasy ceiling of Georges Niang, who has averaged 13.3 points and 4.4 rebounds in 10 starts during the 2023-24 campaign.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (ankle) will miss his eighth consecutive game on Wednesday night versus Miami. He continues to battle a sprained left ankle, although it was recently reported that he's no longer wearing a boot. However, the 22-year-old is still not expected to return until re-evaluated and cleared. Georges Niang has become a strong fantasy option, replacing Mobley in the starting lineup, with averages of 14.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 2.7 made three-pointers in that time. More injury woes with Dean Wade and Max Strus make Isaac Okoro and Marcus Morris Sr. valuable fantasy assets on Cleveland's limited roster.

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.
