Evan Mobley Still Sidelined Against Celtics
5 months agoCleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Mobley will sit out on the second leg of back-to-back games for Cleveland and his third straight due to left knee injury management. The Cavaliers return to play on Wednesday for a rematch with the Celtics in Beantown, but Mobley's absence is a big loss for the team in this one. The 22-year-old defensive menace is providing third-round fantasy figures with averages of 16.0 points on 57.3% field-goal shooting, 10.5 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in 33.6 minutes over 21 games. The Cavs will lean on Jarrett Allen's rim protection against Kristaps Porzingis and company on Tuesday, while Dean Wade figures to draw another spot start as head coach J.B. Bickerstaff hopes for his reserves to step up.
