Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Sheds walking boot

Mobley (ankle) was spotted without his walking boot Monday, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Though ditching the walking boot represents a step in the right direction for Mobley, Fedor notes that it's not necessarily an indication that the big man's return to game action is imminent. He's scheduled to be re-evaluated in the middle of the week, at which point the Cavaliers could clear him to resume some light on-court work while potentially offering up a more concrete target date for him to play in games. Mobley shouldn't be viewed as a likely candidate to play in any of the Cavaliers' remaining two games this week.
