Impact 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.

Impact Mitchell is officially listed as questionable but will likely miss a second straight game due to left knee soreness.

Impact Mitchell and Caris LeVert (elbow) have both been ruled out, so Cleveland's backcourt depth will be tested.

MARCH 1 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Questionable for Friday Mitchell is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Pistons due to left knee soreness.
Impact 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.

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.
Impact 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.

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.
Impact 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 a bit rusty and nothing else, but either way, the star guard will aim to bounce back and deliver better numbers when the Cavaliers take on the Mavericks on Tuesday.

Will start Sunday Mitchell (illness) is available and will start Sunday's game against the Wizards, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.
Impact As expected, Mitchell has been upgraded from probable to available and will play after missing Cleveland's first two games following the All-Star break due to an illness. There haven't been any reports of restrictions, so Mitchell should be full go versus Washington.
FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE
Probable to face Washington Mitchell (illness) is probable to face the Wizards on Sunday.
Impact Mitchell missed the back-to-back set against the Magic and 76ers, with Cleveland losing both games, but the star guard is likely to return to action Sunday in what looks like a favorable matchup on paper. If he ends up returning, then Isaac Okoro would move back to a bench role.
FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE
Downgraded to out Mitchell (illness) won't play in Friday's game versus the 76ers.
Impact Mitchell will miss his second consecutive game Friday after being downgraded from questionable to out due to a non-COVID illness. Mitchell's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Washington.
