CLEVELAND — Evan Mobley has been ruled out for the Cleveland Cavaliers‘ game Monday against the Chicago Bulls with a left great toe sprain, while James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, and Jarrett Allen are off the NBA’s 4:30 p.m. ET injury report Sunday after all five Cleveland starters sat out Saturday.
Peyton Watson is questionable for Monday with right abdominal soreness. He was ruled out Saturday with right hamstring injury management, the same night Harden (left lower leg/calf tightness), Mitchell (left knee contusion/injury management), and Allen (right knee injury management) missed the 127-117 win over the Dallas Mavericks.
Evan Mobley Set To Miss Third Straight Game
Mobley sprained the toe late in Wednesday’s 115-107 win over the New York Knicks, and Cleveland.com reported that an MRI came back clean. Monday will be his third straight absence.
Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson called the injury a sprain after Saturday’s win and offered a rough sense of how far along Mobley was.
“He looks better already,” Atkinson said. “He’s not on the court yet, but this isn’t a month or something like that.”
Watson Moves To A New Listing
Watson missed two games earlier this month with right hamstring soreness and has started all 11 games he has played this season.
Jaylon Tyson is also questionable with right ankle injury management. Sam Merrill is out with right elbow injury management, and Nae’Qwan Tomlin is out with a low back stress reaction.
Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. CT at Rocket Arena.
