Evan Mobley Expected to Return Post All-Star Break from Calf Strain

Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson expects Evan Mobley (calf) to return to action right after the All-Star break. Mobley has missed the last seven games since straining his left calf on January 26, his second calf injury this season after a Grade 1 strain in December. He is making good progress and could be ready for the Cavaliers' first game post-break on February 19 against the Nets. His return may lead to reduced playing time for Thomas Bryant, Jarrett Allen, Jaylon Tyson, and Keon Ellis.
