NBA: Cavaliers Evan Mobley to return vs. Knicks - report

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley is set to return from a two-week injury absence on Thursday afternoon when the team faces the New York Knicks, multiple media outlets reported.

Mobley has been sidelined with a left calf strain. He last played on Dec. 12, scoring 23 points in 36 minutes during a win against the Washington Wizards. An MRI the following day confirmed a Grade 1 strain.

The 24-year-old Mobley is having a career-best season, averaging 19.1 points and 4.1 assists, along with 9.3 rebounds in 25 games.

An All-Star last season, Mobley has averaged 16.6 points and 9.0 rebounds over 294 games—all starts—since being selected by Cleveland with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. -Field Level Media/Reuters
