Cavs’ Injury Report Highlights
Evan Mobley, the Cavs’ second-highest scorer, has been downgraded to questionable due to an illness. He did not participate in the morning shootaround and could miss the game.
Current Injury Status
The Cavaliers will already be without six players:
- Darius Garland – toe injury management
- Sam Merrill – sprained right hand
- Jarrett Allen – strained right finger
- Larry Nance Jr. – calf strain
