According to Adrian Woznarowski of ESPN, Cleveland's Evan Mobley (center, 211cm, 98kg) will be on the operating table on the 16th (Korean time).

He has decided to undergo surgery because he is out of the game due to his left knee injury. He will not be able to play for at least six to eight weeks. He could have to be away for two months, let alone a month.

Cleveland suffered a major loss of power as Mobley's surgery decision and Derius Garland was also injured. The two main players were suddenly left for a long time. Cleveland had maintained a winning rate of 50 percent so far, but it is not expected to be easy to maintain its performance in the future due to a series of unfavorable factors. In the case of Mobley, as he is absent for a long time, it will not be easy to maintain his full strength.

Initially, Mobley was excluded from the team's roster since the 9th. Because he had knee pain. As he constantly stepped on the court throughout the season, he needed rest. However, his injury was never mild, which led to the decision of a full-fledged surgery. His injury, which doubles as a key power forward and backup center, has made it difficult for Cleveland to maintain its height.

Mobley was the starting center at the beginning of the season while Jarrett Allen was absent due to an injury. After Allen returned, he played in his position again. It accounted for a small portion of both offense and defense and played a decisive role in Cleveland building a solid height. With him, Cleveland is considered a club with a promising present and a promising future.

However, as Garland and Mobley, the team's alpha and omega, have both been confirmed to leave for a long time, Cleveland's mid-season has become quite difficult. Furthermore, there are currently no alternative big men in Cleveland such as Kevin Love (Miami) and Lamar Stevens (Boston). There are Dean Wade and George Niang, who are constantly participating, but physical damage is significant.

Until now, Cleveland had Allen and Mobley as the main players, but Wade and Niang were on the bench to maintain stable height throughout the 48th minute. However, as Mobley was absent for at least six weeks following Allen's absence early in the season, it is difficult for Cleveland to display its strong points. It is inevitable that the players will become thinner.

Mobley didn't skip a single game before leaving the lineup due to an injury earlier this month. Playing in 21 games before his absence, Mobley recorded 16 points (.573.200.769) and 10.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.7 blocks. Although it is early in the season, he has achieved double-digit rebounds for the first time since joining the NBA.
