EDGE Analysis

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 (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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Mobley (calf) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Mobley sustained a Grade 1 left calf strain during the Cavaliers' 130-126 win over the Wizards on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Mobley had 18 points (8-19 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Saturday's 99-94 loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Mobley delivered an abysmal performance from beyond the arc, though he still finished as Cleveland's second-leading scorer. The big man was also active on the glass, securing his third consecutive double-double and 12th on the season. Additionally, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year chipped in at least one block for a fourth straight game and is averaging 1.7 swats per tilt through 24 regular-season outings.

Mobley (illness) will play in Friday's game against the Spurs, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Mobley has been downgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs due to an illness.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.
