Evan Mobley injury status vs Timberwolves

Since Evan Mobley is questionable in the injury report, it’s difficult to predict if he will suit up against the Timberwolves. Mobley’s name added to the injury report is rare. Evan hasn’t missed a single game all season. Okoro, however, has missed a handful of games this season.
This could be a significant game for the Cavs, who have an opportunity to return to their winning ways this season after a 136-116 blowout loss to the Thunder. The Timberwolves are coming off a seven-point win against the New York Knicks on Friday, beating the Knicks 116-99. The Cavs have dropped two in the last 15 games and have the best record in the NBA.
This will be the first time the Cavs have faced the Timberwolves this season. Meanwhile, Mobley’s been putting up numbers that could earn him an All-Star selection. He’s averaging 18.6 points on 57.3% shooting, 8.8 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, and 0.9 steals. Okoro made the most of his opportunities in a diminished role, averaging 19.7 minutes per game compared to the 27.3 he received last season.
Okoro is averaging 5.8 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.6 assists. Mobley struggled in the Cavs’ loss to the Thunder. After turning in 21 points and seven assists in a 129-122 win at home, Mobley finished with five points and three rebounds in Thursday’s 20-point loss.
So, the answer is maybe when it comes to whether Evan Mobley is playing tonight vs. the Timberwolves.
