Mobley produced 21 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-10 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks in 26 minutes of Thursday's 119-112 preseason loss to Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Just like the preseason opener in which Mobley produced 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 18 minutes, the big man looked outstanding once again. Cavaliers general manager Koby Altman said at Media Day that he's expecting Mobley to take that next step as a player, and if the preseason is any indication, he looks ready to do exactly that.

Mobley produced 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 18 minutes of Tuesday's 118-117 preseason loss to the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Mobley led the Cavaliers in shot attempts and put together a strong showing on both ends of the court. Additionally, he showcased his improved perimeter shot with a pair of three-pointers. Mobley's upside is well known after the big man produced a second-round fantasy campaign in nine-category leagues during the 2024-25 regular season.

Mobley contributed 24 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 114-105 loss to Indiana in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

Mobley and Donovan Mitchell were a couple of bright spots in an otherwise poor showing from the Cavaliers as the team was bounced from the postseason. As for the regular season, Mobley has plenty to be proud of. He appeared in 71 total games, shooting 55.7 percent from the field and 72.5 percent from the line with averages of 18.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.6 blocks and 0.9 steals. He also extended his range to the perimeter, hitting a career-high 1.2 three-pointers on a 37.0 percent clip. Next season, Mobley will be entering the first year of a five-year, $224 million contract.

Mobley notched 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one steal over 27 minutes during Sunday's 129-109 loss to Indiana in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

Despite playing a team-high 27 minutes in Game 4, Mobley failed to make much of an impact on both ends of the floor. The 2025 NBA Defensive Player of the Year scored his second-lowest point total in these playoffs Sunday and may still be dealing with the lingering effects of the ankle injury he suffered in Game 2. Cleveland had no answer for a motivated and determined Indiana squad that took a 3-1 series lead.

Mobley accumulated 18 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and three steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 126-104 victory over Indiana in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

Mobley was deemed a game-time call for Friday's game due to a left ankle sprain, an injury that prevented him from suiting up in Game 2 of the series, but the big man made his return and made his presence felt on both ends of the court. This was his second consecutive double-double in the series, and Mobley's contributions were massive from a fantasy perspective since he recorded at least three tallies in each of the five major categories. Perhaps more importantly, Mobley didn't show any ill effects of the ankle injury, and unless he suffers a setback over the weekend, he should be ready to go for Game 4 on Sunday.

Mobley is in the Cavaliers' starting lineup in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Pacers on Friday.

He has scored in double digits in his last four playoff games, averaging 19.0 points on 66.7 percent shooting (including 47.4 percent from three on 4.8 3PA/G), 7.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 steals over 31.3 minutes per game over that span.

EDGE Analysis

Mobley missed Game 2 due to an ankle injury but will suit up and play Friday, giving Cleveland a massive boost on both ends of the floor, as the team faces a 2-0 series deficit.

EDGE Analysis

Mobley, Darius Garland (toe) and De'Andre Hunter (thumb) were all present and got shots up after the practice, which wasn't the case ahead of Cleveland's Game 2 loss.

Mobley (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Pacers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The star forward sprained his left ankle in Sunday's Game 1 loss, during which he posted 20 points (9-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 36 minutes. Dean Wade, Isaac Okoro and Javonte Green are all candidates for an uptick in minutes due to Mobley and De'Andre Hunter being sidelined. Mobley's next chance to suit up will come in Game 3 on Friday.
