Rotowire

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Hosts New Year's Eve block party
Rotowire
Mobley tallied 16 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, five blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during Cleveland's 129-113 win over Phoenix on Wednesday.
Mobley was one of three Cavaliers players to finish with a double-double Wednesday, but he made most of his presence felt on the defensive side of the floor with five blocks, tying a season high he set against the Trail Blazers on Dec. 3. Mobley has started and logged 29 minutes in back-to-back games while he continues to work his way back from a calf strain that caused him to miss five games in December. He has opened the 2025-26 regular season averaging 18.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.3 threes, 1.7 blocks and 0.9 steals over 33.3 minutes per game.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Posts 16 points with first unit
Rotowire
Mobley accumulated 16 points (7-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 29 minutes during Monday's 113-101 win over the Spurs.
Mobley played his first game in the starting lineup since mid-December, when a calf injury forced him to miss five games. After two bench performances, he logged close to 30 minutes and made a solid contribution with the first unit. The Cavaliers don't have any back-to-back games in the immediate future, so Mobley should be considered a relatively safe play as he works his way back to 100 percent.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Rejoining first unit
Rotowire
Mobley will start Monday's game against the Spurs.
Mobley has been deployed off the bench in his first two games back from a calf strain, but the team has determined that he's ready to rejoin the starters. He's logged 25 and 20 minutes in two appearances since getting the green light to return, so it remains to be seen whether he'll be on any type of restriction Monday evening. Sam Merrill will retreat to a bench role following this lineup shift.

Returning from a five-game absence due to a calf strain, Mobley was eased back into action with the second unit for the first time in his career but still nearly recorded his fifth straight double-double despite a restricted workload.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Cleared to play Christmas Day
Rotowire
Mobley (calf) will play in Thursday's game against the Knicks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Mobley will return for the Cavaliers' Christmas Day matchup after missing five games with a Grade 1 left calf strain. The big man is enjoying a career-best scoring season and was playing at a consistently high level before the injury, averaging 19.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.9 blocks over his previous 10 appearances. Mobley is likely to be on a minutes restriction and will come off the bench with Dean Wade maintaining a starting role.
Mobley (calf) will undergo a thorough pregame workout before a final determination is made on his availability for Thursday's matchup against the Knicks, Danny Cunningham of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Mobley hasn't played since Dec. 12 due to a Grade 1 left calf strain but will attempt to return for Thursday's Christmas clash. If active, Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson indicated the big man will be on a minutes restriction. Prior to the injury, the USC product was producing at a steady level, averaging 19.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.9 blocks over his previous 10 appearances. Dean Wade would likely move back to a bench role if Mobley is cleared to play.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Chance to play Christmas Day
Rotowire
Mobley (calf) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks.
Mobley has not played since Dec. 12 due to a Grade 1 left calf strain. The recovery for such an injury is approximately two weeks, so the fifth-year big man has a chance to return for the Cavaliers on Christmas Day. Mobley's status for Thursday may not be officially known until closer to the 12:00 p.m. ET tipoff, but his return would likely result in Dean Wade reverting to a bench role.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Sidelined for at least two weeks
Rotowire
Mobley sustained a Grade 1 left calf strain during the Cavaliers' 130-126 win over the Wizards on Friday.
The good news for Mobley is that the strain isn't severe enough to warrant a long absence, but the All-Star forward is expected to miss 2-to-4 weeks while rehabbing from his calf injury. Dean Wade, Thomas Bryant and Nae'Qwan Tomlin are all slated to see more minutes for as long as Mobley is sidelined.
Mobley finished with 23 points (7-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 13 rebounds and six assists over 36 minutes during Friday's 130-126 victory over the Wizards.
Mobley has been a consistent source of points and rebounds for the Cavaliers this season. This was his fourth straight double-double, and he's reached that feat in eight of his last 10 games. He's not going to unsettle Donovan Mitchell as the team's primary scoring option, but his consistency has been remarkable. Over his last 10 games, Mobley is averaging 19.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.9 blocks per contest.

Rotowire
Mobley (illness) will play in Friday's game against the Spurs, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Mobley was a late addition to Cleveland's injury report due to an illness, though he'll shed his questionable tag Friday. Over his last five outings, the 24-year-old big man has averaged 19.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 2.0 blocks across 33.4 minutes per contest.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Under the weather
Rotowire
Mobley has been downgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs due to an illness.
Mobley presumably woke up under the weather and is now in danger of missing Friday's game after not being listed on the initial injury report. Jarrett Allen (finger) and Larry Nance (calf) have already been ruled out, so if Mobley joins them on the sidelines, Nae'Qwan Tomlin, Thomas Bryant, Dean Wade and Jaylon Tyson would be candidates for increased roles in the frontcourt. Mobley was not present at Cleveland's morning shootaround, per Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Swats five shots in loss
Rotowire
Mobley finished with 23 points (8-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, five blocks and two steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 122-110 loss to Portland.
Mobley posted his 10th double-double of the season and set his season high in blocks Wednesday, but his contributions were not enough to propel Cleveland to victory. Mobley has been on quite the tear recently, averaging 19.6 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 0.9 steals, 2.3 blocks and 1.7 threes, shooting 57.0 percent from the field and 42.9 percent from deep across 33.7 minutes in his last seven games.
Mobley recorded 27 points (11-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds and four assists in 38 minutes during Sunday's 117-115 loss to the Celtics.
Mobley put together arguably his best performance of the season Sunday, logging his second-highest scoring total and matching his season best in rebounds. Mobley did, however, break his streak of four consecutive games with at least one block, and it was just the second time this season he failed to collect a block or steal. The star big man has now double-doubled in four of his last five appearances.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Solid showing in win Sunday
Rotowire
Mobley closed Sunday's 120-105 win over the Clippers with 18 points (9-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 34 minutes.
Mobley was efficient in this win, missing only three of his shots from the floor, though his struggles at the charity stripe remain a worrying trend. The star big man has made 51.1 percent of his shots from the line in his last six games, but since he's also averaging 16.8 points, 9.3 boards, 3.2 assists and 1.8 blocks per game in that span, that issue isn't going to affect his fantasy upside considerably.
