Cavaliers star big man Evan Mobley is set to miss the next two to four weeks with a left calf strain, according to a report from ESPN's Shams Charania.

Mobley's injury comes at a bad time for the Cavs, who at 15-11 on the season are trying to find their footing in a crowded Eastern Conference.

Mobley has been incredibly consistent for Cleveland amidst an inconsistent start to the season. In 25 games, he's averaging a career-high 19.1 points to go along with 9.3 rebounds on 49.6% shooting.

Mobley's injury comes as Jarrett Allen nears a return to the lineup. He's been dealing with an injury to his finger. Cleveland will lean on Allen to increase his production with Mobley out for up to a month.
