Cleveland Cavaliers Lose Evan Mobley to Calf Injury, Darius Garland's Offensive Impact, Not Taking LeBron James for Granted

On this edition of Locked On Cavs, Danny Cunningham reacts to the news that Cleveland Cavaliers star Evan Mobley will be missing the next 1-to-3 weeks due to a left calf strain suffered in the team’s win on Monday night against the Orlando Magic. Danny begins the show by discussing Mobley’s injury and his ability to quickly recover in the past and how that could be a boost to his chances of returning sooner than later. Next, Danny takes a dive into the numbers the Cavs have posted during their last six games without Darius Garland and discusses why the Cavs are capable of winning without him in the short term but have a lower ceiling in the long term. Finally, Danny closes the show by discussing LeBron James coming back to Cleveland on Wednesday with the Los Angeles Lakers.
