The Cleveland Cavaliers will be without their second and third leading scorers for the foreseeable future.
Garland, who is also averaging 5.9 assists per game, could be out for a month or more. Mobley, the Cavs’ leading rebounder (10.5 per game), is expected to be out for six to eight weeks, the team said. The 22-year-old had already missed four of Cleveland’s last 10 games for “left knee soreness,” with the Cavs going 1-3 in his absence.
Mobley is one of three players averaging 15 points, 10 rebounds, and 55 percent shooting this season, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
Through Friday, Cleveland sits ninth in the Eastern Conference, with a 13-12 record. The Cavaliers won 51 games last season and lost to the New York Knicks in the first round of the playoffs.
