Many teams around the NBA have had players enter health and safety protocols recently. On Thursday, the Cavaliers announced that Isaac Okoro entered the protocols.
Mobley has been a standout during his rookie campaign with the Cavaliers and is a key reason why the team has gotten off to such a solid start.
Losing Mobley blunts the momentum of the Cavaliers’ 18-12 start and five-game winning streak. It will also certainly have a negative impact on the team’s efforts on Saturday night when they face the defending NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks.
