The Cleveland Cavaliers got a Christmas gift on Thursday with Evan Mobley ready to return from injury for a showdown with the Knicks to kick off the NBA's Christmas Day programming at Madison Square Garden.
Mobley has missed a chunk of December (five games) due to a calf strain, and was a game-time decision for this contest in New York. Ultimately, the Cavs decided he was good enough to go, but he did come off the bench for the first time in his professional career.
