  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Officially questionable for Friday

    Mitchell (nose) is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers.

    Mitchell has missed six straight games due to knee and nasal injuries, but he's trending in the right direction. Shams Charania of The Athletic reported Wednesday that Mitchell could return as soon as Friday, but if the superstar shooting guard is sidelined again, his next chance to suit up would be Sunday in Denver. If Mitchell plays, he may have to operate under heavy restrictions.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Could return Friday

    Mitchell (nose) could return to action as soon as Friday's game versus the 76ers, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    Mitchell will miss his sixth game in a row Wednesday against the Hornets, but he's eyeing a return Friday after dealing with knee and nasal issues. The Cavaliers have been cautious with their star guard, so he may have heavy restrictions during his return.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Without clear return date

    Cavaliers head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Monday that Mitchell (nose) is "progressing" but is without a clear timeline for a return, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

    Mitchell will miss his fifth consecutive game Monday against the Hornets with what's being listed as a nasal fracture, though it's conceivable the star guard is also getting some additional time to rest his left knee after he struggled mightily earlier this month in the two consecutive games he played following a seven-game absence due to a bone bruise. Per Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com, Bickerstaff acknowledged that he still expects Mitchell to play before the end of the regular season, but until the 27-year-old resumes practicing with contact, his return shouldn't be viewed as imminent. Darius Garland and Caris LeVert should continue to take on increased usage out of the backcourt while Mitchell is sidelined.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Gets procedure, will miss time

    Mitchell will be re-evaluated in one week after undergoing a procedure Tuesday to address a nasal fracture, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    Based on his re-evaluation date, Mitchell will miss at least four more games, making it difficult for managers in redraft formats to justify holding the veteran guard while the fantasy playoffs are underway in many leagues. If there's a silver lining for Mitchell, it's that the time off to recover from the nasal procedure will also give him more rest for his left knee. Mitchell had previously missed the Cavaliers' first seven games of March with a bone bruise in the knee, and still looked to be bothered by the injury in his two appearances for the Cavaliers before missing Monday's win over the Pacers with the nasal fracture. With Mitchell sidelined, Caris LeVert is expected to take on heightened usage in the backcourt along with point guard Darius Garland, while Sam Merrill, Isaac Okoro and Georges Niang could also take on elevated roles, at least until any of Mitchell, Evan Mobley (ankle) and Max Strus (knee) return to action.

  • 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.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Remains sidelined against Brooklyn

    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.
