Cleveland Cavaliers Star Forward Remains Out With Injury

The Cleveland Cavaliers have largely avoided any major injuries up to this point in the season.

However, the Wine and Gold are now dealing with a pair of critical player injuries, and some of them have already been ruled out for the Cavaliers' matchup against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.

Evan Mobley - Out

Cleveland's ceiling this season is directly tied to how good and dominant Evan Mobley can be. But right now, the Cavaliers just want to make sure their star forward is healthy.

Mobley has missed the last two games with a calf injury, and he will remain sidelined against the Rockets on Wednesday night.

Kenny Atkinson said prior to Monday's game that they weren't sure with the injury was initially due to contact but eventually deemed it to be a strain.

The encouraging news is that Atkinson believes this is a day-to-day injury, which means Mobley could return to the lineup as soon as next weekend.
