On Sunday, the Cleveland Cavaliers will host the Indiana Pacers in Ohio.

Evan Mobley finished the win with 12 points, ten rebounds, five assists and one steal while shooting 6/11 from the field and 0/2 from three-point range in 32 minutes of playing time.

Cavs Make Evan Mobley Announcement Before Pacers

For Sunday’s game, the Cavs will be without Mobley, as he has been ruled out on the injury report.

Danny Cunningham of Locked On Cavs wrote: “Jarrett Allen (right knee injury management), Evan Mobley (left calf injury management), Sam Merrill (left hamstring injury management), Jaylon Tyson (left great toe bone bruise) and Dean Wade (right ankle sprain) are all out tomorrow against the Indiana Pacers.”

Mobley is in the middle of another strong season.

The former USC star is averaging 18.1 points, 8.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.8 blocks per contest while shooting 54.4% from the field and 29.9% from three-point range in 62 games.

Cavs Right Now

The Cavs are currently the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 48-29 record in 77 games.

They have won seven out of their last ten games (and are 24-14 at home).

Following the Pacers, the Cavs will play their next game on Monday when they visit the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Cavs are coming off an incredible regular season where they were the first seed.

However, they were unable to make a deep run in the 2025 postseason, losing to the Pacers in the second round (in five games).

Earlier this season, the team acquired 2018 MVP James Harden, so there is a lot of expectations on them to get out of the second round this season.

Despite making the 2025 NBA Finals, the Pacers are rebuilding this season.

They are the 13th seed in the Eastern Conference with an 18-59 record in 77 games.

On the road, the Pacers have gone 7-32 in 39 games.

Following the Cavs, they will play their next game on Tuesday when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves.
