Mobley contributed 24 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 114-105 loss to Indiana in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Mobley and Donovan Mitchell were a couple of bright spots in an otherwise poor showing from the Cavaliers as the team was bounced from the postseason. As for the regular season, Mobley has plenty to be proud of. He appeared in 71 total games, shooting 55.7 percent from the field and 72.5 percent from the line with averages of 18.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.6 blocks and 0.9 steals.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Muted performance in loss
Rotowire
Mobley notched 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one steal over 27 minutes during Sunday's 129-109 loss to Indiana in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Despite playing a team-high 27 minutes in Game 4, Mobley failed to make much of an impact on both ends of the floor. The 2025 NBA Defensive Player of the Year scored his second-lowest point total in these playoffs Sunday and may still be dealing with the lingering effects of the ankle injury he suffered in Game 2. Cleveland had no answer for a motivated and determined Indiana squad that took a 3-1 series lead.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Massive stat line in Game 3
Rotowire
Mobley accumulated 18 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and three steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 126-104 victory over Indiana in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Mobley was deemed a game-time call for Friday's game due to a left ankle sprain, an injury that prevented him from suiting up in Game 2 of the series, but the big man made his return and made his presence felt on both ends of the court. This was his second consecutive double-double in the series, and Mobley's contributions were massive from a fantasy perspective since he recorded at least three tallies in each of the five major categories. Perhaps more importantly, Mobley didn't show any ill effects of the ankle injury, and unless he suffers a setback over the weekend, he should be ready to go for Game 4 on Sunday.
