Cavaliers Face Setback with Evan Mobley’s Calf Injury
The Cleveland Cavaliers’ season has taken another hit as they grapple with a series of injuries that have left them short-handed. Darius Garland’s absence due to a toe injury sustained in the previous postseason has already been a significant challenge for the team. Compounding matters, Max Strus has yet to make his season debut, while Jarrett Allen has been sidelined for an extended period with a finger injury.
Now, the Cavaliers must navigate yet another setback, as forward Evan Mobley is expected to be out for two to four weeks due to a calf injury. The injury occurred during Friday night’s closely contested matchup against the Washington Wizards, where Mobley played a pivotal role in securing the win.
Injury Details and Recovery Timeline
Following the game, an MRI conducted on Saturday confirmed a Grade 1 strain in Mobley’s left calf. The young star will commence treatment immediately, but the prognosis suggests that he could miss up to a month of action. Despite this setback, it’s worth noting that Mobley has only missed one game this season prior to this injury.
As the Cavaliers look to maintain their momentum, the absence of Mobley—who has been a key contributor—will undoubtedly test their depth and resilience in the coming weeks. The road ahead may be challenging, but the team will need to rally together to overcome these hurdles.
