  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Out Monday with fractured nose

    Mitchell won't play in Monday's game against the Cavaliers due to a fractured nose.

    Mitchell has appeared in the Cavaliers' last two games following a seven-game absence due to a bone bruise in his left knee. He required a platelet-rich plasma injection to alleviate pain in the knee, but the star guard hasn't looked particularly sharp in his return to action, averaging 13.5 points in 27.0 minutes between those contests while shooting 31 percent from the field. Though the Cavaliers are citing the nasal fracture as the reason for Mitchell's absence Monday, sitting out should also afford him more time to bounce back from the knee injury. Look for Darius Garland and Caris LeVert to take on heightened roles out of the backcourt Monday while Mitchell sits out.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Unlikely to play Monday

    Mitchell (knee) isn't expected to play in Monday's game against Indiana, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Playing in his second straight game following a seven-game absence due to a left knee bone bruise, Mitchell logged 26 minutes in Saturday's 117-103 loss to Houston. He finishing with 13 points (4-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal and looked uncomfortable most of the game, making frequent trips to the bench to consult with trainers. Mitchell said he wants to give his troublesome knee more time to rest and recover, and Monday's contest looks like an opportune time for him to get some maintenance.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Sluggish outing in return

    Mitchell (knee) recorded 14 points (5-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt), five assists, four rebounds and one block across 28 minutes Wednesday in the Cavaliers' 116-95 win over the Pelicans.

    Mitchell was back in action after missing the past seven games with a bone bruise in his left knee, but he held a more muted role than usual in his return while several of his teammates stepped up to help guide Cleveland to a blowout win. The veteran guard was still able to knock down four of the Cavaliers' 20 three-pointers on the night, and his presence on the court attracted more attention from the New Orleans defense and helped open up looks for others. Mitchell will have two days to rest up before the Cavaliers return to action versus the Rockets on Saturday, when he should clear the 30-minute mark if the contest proves to be more competitive than Wednesday's.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Set to play Wednesday

    Mitchell (knee) is available and in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.

    Mitchell will return to action Wednesday after missing Cleveland's previous seven games with a bone bruise in his left knee. Mitchell will reclaim his starting spot from Caris LeVert against New Orleans.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Questionable for Wednesday

    Mitchell (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans.

    Mitchell has missed Cleveland's last seven contests due to a left knee bone bruise. However, the star guard has resumed on-court activities, and his upgraded status is a good sign that he is nearing a return.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Remains out Monday

    Mitchell (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Suns.

    As expected, Mitchell will miss a seventh straight game due to a left knee bone bruise. The star guard has returned to on-court activities recently, and the team is hopeful he'll suit up this week, but it's unclear exactly how close he is to playing again. On Monday, he was sent to the G League's Cleveland Charge to presumably practice, which is another step in the right direction. Following Monday's home matchup, the Cavaliers head out on a three-game road trip which starts Wednesday in New Orleans and ends March 18 in Indiana, with a stop in Houston on Saturday.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Expected to remain out Monday

    Mitchell (knee) is making progress but is expected to remain out for Monday's game against the Suns, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Mitchell was sidelined for Sunday's 120-101 loss to the Nets, marking his sixth straight absence on account of a left knee bone bruise. Though Mitchell has returned to on-court work since receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection for his knee, his streak of absences will likely reach seven Monday. The Cavaliers are hopeful that the star guard will be able to return at some point during their upcoming three-game road swing which begins Wednesday in New Orleans and includes stops in Houston (Friday) and Indiana (next Monday). For now, consider Mitchell doubtful for Monday's contest as he sets his sights on a potential return against the Pelicans or Rockets later in the week.

    Mitchell (knee) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Nets.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Will miss at least three more games

    The Cavaliers announced Monday that Mitchell (knee) received a platelet-rich plasma injection to address a left knee bone bruise and will be sidelined for at least the next three games.

    Mitchell missed the past two games due to left knee soreness and was diagnosed with a bone bruise Monday. He's slated to be evaluated again over the weekend, so his absence could extend well past the current timeline if he hasn't shown enough progress by then. Isaac Okoro will likely continue to start in Mitchell's absence, but Sam Merrill and Craig Porter have carved out more bench minutes over the last two games, as well.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Unlikely to play Sunday

    Mitchell (knee) is unlikely to play Sunday against the Knicks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    Mitchell is officially listed as questionable but will likely miss a second straight game due to left knee soreness. If the All-Star is sidelined, Sam Merrill and Craig Porter would be candidates for playing time again, but Darius Garland would presumably be the primary beneficiary in terms of usage, while Isaac Okoro would draw another start.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Questionable for Sunday

    Mitchell (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Ruled out Friday

    Mitchell (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pistons, Johnny Kane of Bally Sports Detroit reports.

    Mitchell and Caris LeVert (elbow) have both been ruled out, so Cleveland's backcourt depth will be tested. Isaac Okoro will likely move into the starting lineup, while Sam Merrill, Georges Niang, Dean Wade and Craig Porter are candidates for increased roles off the bench. Mitchell's next chance to suit up will come Sunday versus the Knicks.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Questionable for Friday

    Mitchell is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Pistons due to left knee soreness.

    Mitchell is feeling some soreness in his left knee after logging 44 minutes in Wednesday's overtime loss to the Bulls, but we'll have a better idea on his availability for Friday's game based on his activity level at shootaround. If he is forced to the sidelines, Caris LeVert would get an opportunity to start while Darius Garland would likely see a bump in usage.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Hits for team-high 31 in win

    Mitchell ended with 31 points (11-20 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one block across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 121-119 win over the Mavericks.

    The 27-year-old guard was back in form after managing only 16 points Sunday in his return from a minor illness that had kept him out for the first two games after the All-Star break. Mitchell has popped for at least 30 points in five of 10 contests in February, averaging 28.0 points, 5.8 assists, 5.2 boards, 4.0 threes and 1.6 steals on the month while shooting 51.1 percent from the floor and 44.9 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Poor shooting display Sunday

    Mitchell provided 16 points (4-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 114-105 victory over the Wizards.

    The Cavaliers had to work harder than expected to get the victory in this one, and while Mitchell still ended with a decent stat line, he wasn't able to replicate what he had been doing in previous contests before missing time due to an illness. There's a strong chance Mitchell was simply rusty during his first game since Feb. 14, but either way, the star guard will aim to bounce back and deliver better numbers when the Cavaliers take on the Mavericks on Tuesday.
