The 20-year-old suffered a right elbow sprain on November 15 and was expected to miss two to four weeks. However, his progression is ahead of time.

Mobley sustained the injury while working for a position against Boston's Enes Kanter during the third quarter of the Cavaliers' 98-92 loss to the Celtics.

Mobley, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, is averaging 14.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.6 blocks in 15 games this season.

Cavaliers have the NBA record of 9 wins and 10 defeats. They are sharing 11-12 places with the Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Conference standings.

The Cavs are 9-6 when Evan Mobley plays and 0-4 without him.
