The Cleveland Cavaliers have faced significant injuries this season, with key players like Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen missing time, while Evan Mobley has been a consistent performer. However, Mobley sustained a calf strain against the Wizards and is expected to be sidelined for 2-4 weeks. Averaging 19.1 points and 9.3 rebounds this season, Mobley’s efficiency has declined, raising concerns about his impact on the team’s defense. If he misses a month, he risks not meeting the 65-game threshold to defend his Defensive Player of the Year title or earn an All-NBA selection.
