Evan Mobley (elbow) out for Cavaliers 2-4 weeks
Cleveland Cavaliers center Evan Mobley will miss 2-to-4 weeks with a right elbow sprain.
What It Means:
Mobley suffered the sprain in Monday's loss to the Boston Celtics. Kevin Love and Lauri Markkanen are expected back soon after missing two weeks due to COVID-19 protocols and conditioning, so the timing of Mobley's injury is somewhat convenient. Cedi Osman could see a larger role on Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets if Love and Markkanen still aren't ready.
Prior to Monday's injury, Mobley averaged 39.2 FanDuel points over a five-game span with 19.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 triples, and 2.0 blocks. Osman set season-bests Monday night with 41.9 FanDuel points and 26 points.
