X-rays of Mobley's sprained left ankle came back negative Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mobley appeared to land on another player's foot and turn his ankle during the first half of Monday's win over Orlando. He limped to the locker room shortly thereafter but was unable to return to the game. The negative X-rays are a positive sign, but the rookie isn't out of the woods yet, as the sprained ankle may still knock him out of a few contests. There'll likely be more clarity on how severe the injury is when Cleveland releases its official injury report for Wednesday's matchup with Dallas.

Mobley had 12 points (6-12 FG, 0-2 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal across 35 minutes during Saturday's 113-109 victory over the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Mobley delivered a well-rounded performance Saturday, chipping in across the board as the Cavaliers held off a tenacious Pistons outfit. It's been a terrific rookie campaign for Mobley, although his efficiency from the free throw line does leave a lot to be desired, as demonstrated in this one, going 0-of-2 from the stripe. With Jarrett Allen potentially out for the remainder of the regular season, Mobley is going to be logging a lot more minutes at the center position, ensuring high rebound and block numbers.

Mobley provided 19 points (7-12 FG, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 117-105 loss to the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
The promising rookie continues to justify the hype he entered the NBA with and is quickly emerging as one of the league's top two-way big men at just 20 years old. He's been spending more time at center recently since Jarrett Allen fractured his finger last weekend, and Mobley's fantasy value has seen an appreciable uptick with the role change since then. While Allen has been out for most or all of the Cavs' last three games, Mobley has averaged 20.3 points, 13.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.7 blocks.

EDGE Analysis
Mobley is set to play more center than ever with Jarrett Allen (finger) out indefinitely, and he's put up monster numbers over the past two games. Against Toronto on Sunday and against Indiana Tuesday, he's combined for 42 points, 29 rebounds, seven assists, five steals and four blocks.

Mobley registered 20 points (9-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-5 FT), 17 rebounds, four assists and three blocks across 36 minutes during Sunday's 104-96 win over the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Mobley saw increased usage in the Cavaliers' frontcourt after Jarrett Allen (finger/quadriceps) left Sunday's matchup, and he matched his highest rebound total of the season while scoring at least 20 points for the fifth time since the start of the calendar year. The rookie had been held to single-digit scoring totals in each of his last two appearances, but he should have a chance to carve out a more prominent role going forward since Allen is expected to be sidelined indefinitely.

Mobley finished with 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 34 minutes in Monday's 127-122 loss to the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
With 15 double-doubles on the season, Mobley is within shouting distance of Carlos Boozer's franchise rookie record of 21. Unlike Boozer, Mobley is already showing a more multi-faceted game beyond just vacuuming up rebounds and scoring in the paint. He's also averaging 2.6 assists, 1.7 blocks and 0.8 steals per contest.

The rookie wasn't very consistent, but he still found a way to leave his mark on both ends of the court. Mobley is averaging 14.6 points and 8.2 rebounds per game while recording four double-doubles across nine games this month.
