First double-double since Dec. 11 Mobley chipped in 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-3 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one block across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 111-91 victory over the Jazz. Impact Mobley ended a nine-game drought without a double-double, and the seven assists were a new career-high for the rookie. Since returning in late December from a four-game absence due to a hip injury and a stint in the COVID-19 health and safety protocols, Mobley has proceeded to regain the form he displayed earlier in the season. In the nine games following his return, Mobley is averaging 17.9 points (on 58.7 percent shooting from the field), 7.6 boards, 3.3 assists, 1.4 blocks and 0.6 steals in 35.4 minutes, with a lack of three-point production (0.1 per game) and poor free-throw shooting (60 percent on 3.3 attempts per game) being the only blemishes on his statistical profile.
