The Cleveland Cavaliers have largely avoided any major injuries up to this point in the season. However, the Wine and Gold are now dealing with a pair of critical player injuries, and some of them have already been ruled out for the Cavaliers' matchup against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.

A right calf strain will hold Mobley out for a third straight game, and the star big man's next opportunity to return to the Cavaliers' lineup arrives Friday against Philadelphia. Caris LeVert (wrist) should continue to be the primary beneficiary of Mobley's absence if he's able to play against Houston,

LeVert (wrist) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets. LeVert was a late scratch for Monday's game against the Suns due to right wrist soreness, and he remains uncertain for action Wednesday.

In a bounce-back win against the Pacers, Cavs star big man Evan Mobley was instrumental in giving the team a spark.

If the Cavaliers can find a trade package for a player who is a clear upgrade over LeVert ( say, Cameron Johnson ), then trading LeVert in that potential deal would absolutely make sense. However, a deal before the deadline would not make sense if the front office is only looking to trade LeVert solely to reduce payroll.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Cavs knew they would be without Evan Mobley (calf) and Isaac Okoro (shoulder) for Monday’s contest against the Phoenix Suns, but a new name surfaced on their injury report before tipoff at 3:30 p.m. Eastern at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
