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

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.
