The Cavaliers said tests in Cleveland on Wednesday confirmed Mobley suffered the sprain in the third quarter of Cleveland's 105-104 home win over the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night. The team said Mobley will be evaluated in about one week.

Coach J.B. Bickerstaff said before Wednesday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks that Mobley's ankle was "tender."

"We'll see how it goes," Bickerstaff said.

The 6-foot-11 Mobley is averaging 15.
