Mobley finished Wednesday's 122-101 loss to Phoenix with 20 points (8-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Seven games removed from his nine-game absence, Mobley's totals continue to trend upward. Although he's hit the double-double milestone only once since returning to action, he came tantalizingly close during Wednesday's loss. Mobley's shot accuracy has been outstanding since his return, averaging 66.7 percent from the floor.

Mobley amassed 23 points (9-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 29 minutes during Sunday's 130-101 loss to Denver.
EDGE Analysis
It was the third-year forward's best scoring effort in five games since he returned from an ankle injury that cost him most of March. Mobley has also recorded multiple blocks in back-to-back games, a good sign that he's fully back up to game speed. Over that five-game stretch, he's averaged 17.0 points, 6.4 boards, 3.8 assists, 1.2 threes and 0.8 blocks.

Mobley ended Friday's 117-114 victory over Philadelphia with 20 points (7-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 31 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Mobley has looked quite good since returning from a nine-game absence due to a left ankle sprain, and he notched his first double-double since March 3. Mobley also made his presence felt as a rim protector with a two-block performance. Mobley is averaging 15.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game since returning to the hardwood.

Mobley registered 17 points (8-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Monday's 115-92 win over the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Playing in his second game since returning from an ankle injury that cost him most of March, Mobley tied Jarrett Allen and Georges Niang for the team scoring lead while posting strong all-around numbers. Over the 10 games he's been able to play after the All-Star break, Mobley has averaged 15.1 points, 9.3 boards, 4.1 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals while shooting 56.6 percent from the floor, and the Cavaliers figure to lean on the third-year big heavily while Donovan Mitchell (nose) remains sidelined.

Mobley (ankle) tallied 15 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes Sunday in the Cavaliers' 121-84 loss to the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
In his return from a nine-game absence due to a left ankle sprain, Mobley was on a restriction of 20-to-25 minutes, and the Cavaliers didn't have to worry about overworking him after Miami rolled to a 21-point lead at halftime and a 33-point lead after three quarters to salt the game away. Despite going a minus-22 during his time on the court, Mobley still managed to produce the best fantasy line of any of the 12 Cavaliers players that took the court. Mobley could be available Monday when the Cavaliers finish out their back-to-back set with a matchup with the Hornets, but expect a minute restriction to remain in place for that contest.

Mobley (ankle) has been cleared for Sunday's game against Miami and will start at power forward, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports. Mobley will have a 20-25 minute restriction.
EDGE Analysis
Mobley will be back in action for the first time since March 5 following a nine-game absence due to a left ankle sprain and will be capped at around 20-to-25 minutes, according to Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. While Mobley's return to the lineup is a welcome development for the Cavaliers, it may take a couple of games before fantasy managers can feel comfortable activating him. In addition to being restricted in his return to the lineup Sunday, Mobley will likely be on a minutes limit once again in the second leg of a back-to-back set Monday versus the Hornets, if he doesn't sit out that contest entirely.

Mobley (ankle) appears on track to play in Sunday's game against the Heat, Grant Afseth of NBAAnalysis.net reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mobley is still officially listed as questionable on the Cavaliers' injury report, but Afseth's report suggests the big man is trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's 6 p.m. ET tipoff. Even if Mobley is cleared to play and re-enter the starting five, expect him to face a minutes restriction of some kind after missing the previous nine games with a left ankle sprain.

Mobley (ankle) is questionable to face the Heat on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Mobley has been dealing with a left ankle sprain for quite some time, and he hasn't stepped on the court since March 5, when he suffered the injury in a 105-104 loss to the Celtics. Mobley will be a true game-time call for Sunday's contest, and his return would provide a huge boost for a Cavs team that's already missing Donovan Mitchell (nose) for the matchup against Miami.

Mobley (ankle) is no longer wearing a walking boot, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
This isn't necessarily an indication of when Mobley will be cleared for game action, but it's a step in the right direction for the big man. Fedor noted that Mobley's return is likely further away than Donovan Mitchell's (knee), who has been out for the last seven games while recovering from a bone bruise in his left knee. The window for Mobley's return should become more clear as he begins to ramp up basketball activities.

Mobley (ankle) will be re-evaluated in roughly one week, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mobley suffered an ankle injury during Tuesday's win over the Celtics, and an MRI confirmed the injury to be a sprained ankle. Considering an early report indicated an extended absence, and Mobley was in crutches following Tuesday's contest, his one-week timetable for re-evaluation seems to be a positive sign. Until he returns, Dean Wade and Georges Niang will likely pick up most of Mobley's vacated minutes.
