Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Needs 14 shots to score 13 points
Rotowire
Mobley ended Saturday's 119-105 win over the Magic with 13 points (4-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 35 minutes.

The shooting woes have been especially pronounced since December, as Mobley has gone 14-for-68 from deep over that span. He's still attempting 3.1 triples per game, suggesting the 24-year-old forward hasn't backed off despite the prolonged slump.

Returning from a five-game absence due to a calf strain, Mobley was eased back into action with the second unit for the first time in his career but still nearly recorded his fifth straight double-double despite a restricted workload. The fifth-year big man had been on a roll prior to the injury, averaging 19.5 points, 10.3 boards, 4.3 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers in 33.9 minutes over his last 10 games.
Mobley (calf) will undergo a thorough pregame workout before a final determination is made on his availability for Thursday's matchup against the Knicks, Danny Cunningham of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Mobley hasn't played since Dec. 12 due to a Grade 1 left calf strain but will attempt to return for Thursday's Christmas clash. If active, Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson indicated the big man will be on a minutes restriction. Prior to the injury, the USC product was producing at a steady level, averaging 19.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.9 blocks over his previous 10 appearances.
