Third-year option to be picked up The Cavaliers will pick up Mobley's third-year option, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Mobley impressed as a rookie last season, racking up 15.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.7 blocks over 33.8 minutes per contest, so it's no surprise the team will keep him around for a third campaign. Mobley will reprise his role in the frontcourt of an improved Cavs roster, but the addition of Donovan Mitchell could shift the balance of usage on offense.

Will dress for preseason finale Mobley (ankle) will rejoin the action for Friday's preseason finale versus the Magic, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Mobley had hoped to get in some action before the preseason concludes and will indeed get a tune-up game Friday. Assuming he avoids a setback in the contest, the second-year forward is primed to start in the frontcourt alongside Jarrett Allen in 2022-23.

Remains out Wednesday Mobley (ankle) will not take the floor Wednesday against the Hawks, Evan Dammarell of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff expressed Tuesday that he hoped to have Mobley on the floor before the preseason ends, but Mobley is running out of chances to make that come to fruition. The Cavs return to action for the preseason finale Friday against the Magic, giving him one last shot to get some run in before the regular season.

Could appear in preseason action Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff suggested Tuesday that Mobley (ankle) could return before the preseason concludes, Evan Dammarell of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Mobley has just two chances remaining to rejoin the action -- Wednesday versus the Hawks and Friday versus the Magic -- so he must be pretty close to game-ready with the regular season approaching. The big man posted a fantastic rookie campaign in 2021-22, averaging 15.0 points, 8.3 boards and 2.5 assists over 33.8 minutes per tilt, and figures to play a key role again this season on a contending Cavaliers squad.

Making progress in rehab Mobley (ankle) went through a light individual shootaround Monday, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Mobley continues to make strides after spraining his ankle during a workout at the beginning of October, but he's yet to return to full practices. There's been no indication that the second-year big man is in danger of missing any regular-season action, which starts Oct. 19 against the Magic, but he seems unlikely to play in either of the team's two remaining preseason contests -- Monday against the 76ers and Wednesday against the Hawks.

Should be fine for opener Coach J.B. Bickerstaff indicated Tuesday that he's not concerned about Mobley (ankle) in terms of his availability for the season opener versus the Raptors on Oct. 19, Evan Dammare...

Impact Mobley sprained his ankle during a workout Saturday and will remain sidelined for a week or two. Assuming Mobley's rehab efforts proceed as expected, he should be in uniform for the start of the season. The main concern when considering him in fantasy drafts would be a recurrence of the injury during the season.

Cavs forward Mobley out at least 2 weeks with sprained ankle

OCTOBER 3, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sprains ankle Mobley suffered a sprained right ankle during a workout Saturday and will be sidelined for 1-to-2 weeks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact After an impressive rookie season, the young big man's second year is off to a slightly rocky start due to the injury. Fortunately for Mobley and the Cavaliers, the team's regular-season opener isn't until Oct. 19, so the 21-year-old likely won't have to miss much time, if any, should the 1-to-2-week timeline prove accurate. The USC product will miss out on some preseason action, however, though the Cavaliers weren't likely to overextend him in those contests anyway.
