Solid two-way effort in loss Mobley recorded 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), five rebounds, a steal and two blocks across 27 minutes in Tuesday's 132-116 preseason loss to the Magic.

Impact Mobley struggled with his efficiency, but the big man made an impact defensively with two blocks and a steal, providing some value beyond his scoring contributions. The Cavaliers don't have more preseason action, so the next time Mobley will step on the court will be for the regular-season opener against the 76ers on Oct. 22.

Scores 14 points Sunday Mobley finished with 14 points (3-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 27 minutes in Sunday's 119-105 preseason win over the Magic.

Impact While Mobley didn't shoot the ball well Sunday, his scoring contributions improved after amassing eight points in Thursday's preseason loss to the Celtics. The 25-year-old ended the 2025-26 campaign by averaging 18.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.7 blocks over 31.9 minutes per contest. Mobley's three-point percentage dipped last year, but his biggest issue is his health, with the 2021 No. 3 overall pick logging 65 games or fewer in two of the last three seasons.

Quiet outing in preseason loss Mobley finished with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 FT), a rebound and an assist across 17 minutes in Thursday's 124-113 preseason loss to the Celtics.

Impact Mobley saw limited opportunities on offense, attempting just five shots while Cleveland gave its starters identical playing time, but he was efficient. His limited minutes and low usage reflected preseason circumstances more than any meaningful change in his expected regular-season role, so fantasy managers shouldn't focus too much on his reduced preseason playing time.
