Mobley supplied 14 points (6-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 109-108 loss to the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
If he continues his solid play, Mobley will give Cade Cunningham a run for his money in Rookie of the Year honors. Although the USC product is still adjusting to play at the pro level, he's been a valuable centerpiece for the Cavs through the first 24 games of the season. He missed four games with an elbow injury but is back to 100 percent after returning two weeks ago.

Mobley produced 17 points (5-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 111-85 victory over the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Mobley registered just his fifth double-double of the season, though it's worth mentioning this was the first time he accomplished that goal since Nov. 3, when he posted 11 points and 11 boards in a win over the Blazers. Mobley has looked impressive as a rookie and is averaging 14.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.9 blocks per game thus far.

Mobley (elbow) will return for Saturday's game against Orlando, Kelsey Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mobley was originally given a 2-to-4-week timetable to recover from his elbow injury, but he's healed faster than expected and will be back in the lineup Saturday after missing only four contests. Prior to the injury, Mobley was off to an extremely hot start, posting 15.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.6 blocks through his first 14 healthy games.

The Cavaliers are planning on having Mobley (elbow) return to the lineup Saturday against the Magic, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. He is officially listed as probable.
EDGE Analysis
Mobley has been sidelined the past four games with a sprained right elbow and was expected to miss 2-to-4 weeks after suffering the injury Nov. 15, but he looks like he may be ready to return to the court quicker that expected. The rookie first-round pick will likely be listed as questionable once the Cavaliers release their updated injury report. Through his first 15 games, Mobley cemented himself as an early Rookie of the Year frontrunner after averaging 14.6 points, 8.0 boards, 2.5 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.0 steals in 33.7 minutes per contest.

Coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Tuesday that Mobley (elbow) is "progressing well," but there is no definitive timetable for his return, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mobley was diagnosed with a sprained right elbow after suffering an injury during a Nov. 15 loss to the Celtics. The star rookie was given a rough timetable of 2-to-4 weeks to return. However, after a week of rehab, Bickerstaff isn't ready to set a specific return date and wouldn't commit to saying that Mobley was ahead of schedule. Kevin Love and Lauri Markkanen, who both recently returned from COVID-19 protocols, will likely see increased roles during the duration of Mobley's absence.

Mobley (elbow) has been diagnosed with a sprained right elbow and is expected to miss 2-to-4 weeks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The star rookie emerged from Monday's loss to the Celtics with an elbow injury, and it's since been diagnosed as a sprain. While this is a disappointing setback for the No. 3 overall pick, who was off to an outstanding start, the Cavs should be getting frontcourt reinforcements soon in the form of Kevin Love and Lauri Markkanen, who have both been absent for the last two weeks due to COVID-19 protocols. Given the timetable, Mobley can safely be ruled out for the rest of November, but fantasy managers can hope to have him back sometime early next month.

EDGE Analysis
It's unclear as to when Mobley suffered the injury, though it appears to have impacted his shot in this one, missing all but one of his free throws on the night. The team has yet to provide an update on his status, though he's set to undergo an MRI on Tuesday, per Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer.
