Mobley (ankle) will play Friday against the Nets, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mobley's ankle is presumably at full strength, as he "did everything" at Thursday's practice and worked extra with Darius Garland afterward. The rookie last played March 28, spraining his ankle in the loss to Orlando. His return is huge for a Cleveland team hoping to be competitive in the first round of the playoffs. Mobley should start at center Friday and remain there until Jarrett Allen (finger) returns.
