Cleveland Cavaliers' Evan Mobley to miss game against Miami Heat

Evan Mobley will not play for the Cleveland Cavaliers in their game against the Miami Heat on Friday due to a sprained big toe. Mobley sustained the injury late in Wednesday's contest in New York while attempting to block a shot. His absence is significant as the Cavaliers prepare to face a strong front court featuring Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo. Jarrett Allen, returning from his own injury, is expected to lead the defense alongside Mario Hezonja or Peyton Watson. The Cavaliers will need to adjust their line-up to compensate for Mobley’s defensive prowess.
