Cavs continue to take important steps forward as a young team, headed to Play-In to face Nets 'I feel like the whole group is excited — new experience for a lot of people on our team,' rookie Evan Mobley said of making the Play-In.

18/10 double-double in win Mobley posted 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and four blocks across 23 minutes during Sunday's 133-115 win over Milwaukee.

Impact Mobley continued to post solid numbers amid Jarrett Allen's (finger) absence, although Kevin Love had a much bigger impact in the interior during Sunday's win. In his second game back after a five-game absence, he'll look to restart a double-double streak in the play-in game Tuesday.

Solid all-around outing in return Mobley (ankle) recorded 17 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks across 34 minutes in Friday's 118-107 loss to the Nets.

Impact Back in action after a five-game absence, Mobley delivered an excellent two-way effort, but his return wasn't enough to help the reeling Cavaliers avoid another loss. Despite the missed time along with the Cavs' ongoing slide, Mobley still appears well-positioned to take home NBA Rookie of the Year honors, though a strong showing in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bucks would undoubtedly help his cause.

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

Impact 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.

Cavaliers have gotten flexible with lineups while missing Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley Without twin towers Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, the Cavs have had to tweak their tall lineup and mix in some smaller ball.

Expected to return Friday Mobley (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game at Brooklyn, but the expectation is that he will play, per Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com.

Impact Fedor relays that Mobley "did everything" at Thursday's practice and even stayed afterward for extra work with Darius Garland, so his sprained left ankle looks to be nearing full strength. While coach JB Bickerstaff remained noncommittal about Mobley's status, he noted there will be "plenty of minutes" for the big man once he's back in the lineup. The Cavs will likely wait to see how Mobley's ankle reacts Friday morning, but at this juncture he appears to be trending more toward probable than doubtful.

Could return Friday Mobley (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Nets.

Impact Since initially suffering the sprained left ankle, this is the first time Mobley is listed as questionable rather than out ahead of a matchup. If he returns, he could be on a minutes limit, though he'll need to be ramped up quickly given how crucial he is to the Cavaliers' playoff chances. In March, he averaged 15.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 blocks in 33.1 minutes.
