After Evan Mobley missed several games due to a nagging calf injury, Cavs head coach Kenny Atkinson gave an update on the star big man.

For the Suns, not having to face off against the Cavaliers’ two-headed monster of Mobley and Jarrett Allen inside is a positive one thanks to their poor center play but newly acquired Nick Richards did impress in his first game with the team on Saturday.

Will the Cavs be able to contain Kevin Durant and the Suns without Evan Mobley? This will be Cleveland's first of two matchups against Phoenix. Since both teams are in separate conferences, they only face each other twice a season.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have lost a couple of games over the past week, partly because some of their regulars have been out with injuries. However, despite their mediocre week, the Cavs still comfortably lead the Eastern Conference at 35-6.
