Donovan Mitchell Goes Off for 40 Points against Celtics 🔥

Available to play Mitchell (finger) will be available to play Monday against the Celtics.
Impact Coach J.B. Bickerstaff said that Mitchell is dealing with a sprained finger that he'll essentially have to play through, so this is just going to be a matter of pain tolerance. The good news is that this is an injury to Mitchell's non-shooting hand, so it shouldn't impact his play too much.

Present at shootaround Mitchell (finger) was spotted going through Monday's morning shootaround, Evan Dammarell of LockedOnCavs reports.
Impact He's still listed as questionable, but it's a good sign to see him out there testing the injury. Mitchell was sporting a wrap on his sprained left middle finger, and he's fortunate that the injury isn't to his shooting hand. If he's unable to suit up Monday, that would open the door for guys like Caris LeVert, Ricky Rubio and Cedi Osman to step up, though Darius Garland presumably would operate as the Cavaliers' go-to playmaker.

Questionable for Monday's contest Mitchell is questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics due to a left hand and finger sprain.
Impact Mitchell left Saturday's game against the Pistons due to the injury, but he ultimately returned to the contest and posted 20 points (8-17 FG) in 24 minutes. It appears the issue may have swelled up after the contest, so Cleveland may opt to give the dynamic shooting guard a night off to get him back to 100 percent. If that's the case, Caris LeVert, Danny Green, Ricky Rubio and Cedi Osman would all be candidates for increased roles.

Probable to return Saturday Mitchell returned to the bench Saturday against the Pistons but has been listed as probable due to a left finger sprain, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Mitchell departed the game, and it seems the issue was on his left hand, as he was spotted with what looks like tape on his left index finger. The Cavaliers will take every single precaution with the health of their star guard.

Heads to locker room Saturday Mitchell has headed to the locker room with an apparent injury, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.
Impact It's unclear what happened to Mitchell, as he asked out of the game and went to the locker room with a trainer shortly after making a bucket, and it's unclear if the issue is related to the groin problem that has been bothering him over the last few days. If he doesn't return, then Caris LeVert and potentially Danny Green would be in line to see bigger roles.

Not listed on injury report Mitchell (groin) isn't listed on the Cavaliers' injury report for Saturday's game against the Pistons.
Impact Mitchell tweaked his groin during Wednesday's loss to the Celtics, but he was a full participant during Friday's practice and won't have to miss any game time due to the injury. Across four appearances since the All-Star break, Mitchell is averaging 30.0 points, 3.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 35.5 minutes per game.

Fully practices Friday Mitchell (groin) was a full participant in Friday's practice session, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.
Impact Mitchell sustained a groin injury during Wednesday's loss to the Celtics and wasn't sure whether he'd have to miss time, but his full participation in practice is a good sign. The 26-year-old also dealt with a groin issue earlier this year, so he'll presumably be monitored closely ahead of Saturday's matchup against Detroit. While his status for Saturday remains unclear, it's certainly possible he suits up if he feels good after Friday's practice session.

Mitchell leads Cleveland against Detroit after 44-point game
Cleveland hosts the Detroit Pistons after Donovan Mitchell scored 44 points in the Cleveland Cavaliers' 117-113 loss to the Boston CelticsMARCH 3, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Status uncertain after groin tweak Mitchell acknowledged after Wednesday's 117-113 loss to the Celtics that he's unsure if he'll have to miss time due to the right groin injury he suffered in the third quarter, Chri...
Impact Mitchell appeared to be in significant pain upon sustaining the injury midway through the quarter, letting out a scream and pounding the floor in frustration before head coach J.B. Bickerstaff called a timeout to substitute him out of the game. After getting some treatment on the bench, Mitchell checked back in and nearly helped the Cavaliers complete a comeback from a 17-point deficit, ultimately ending the night with a stellar stat line (44 points, five assists and four rebounds in 44 minutes). Despite his gutsy finish to the game, Mitchell said that adrenaline helped him push through the pain, so he'll have to wait and see how he responds to treatment before the Cavaliers reassess his status heading into Saturday's contest. Given that Mitchell previously missed time with a groin issue in January, the Cavaliers could take precautions by holding the All-Star out against a 15-48 Pistons squad.

Explodes for 44 points Wednesday Mitchell supplied 44 points (17-32 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five assists and four rebounds across 44 minutes during Wednesday's 117-113 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Even though he appeared to aggravate a right groin injury in third quarter, Mitchell played through the issue and delivered a stalwart performance, clearing the 40-point mark for the second time in his last six appearances. Since the start of February, Mitchell is averaging 27.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 3.5 three-pointers and 1.5 steals while shooting 48.7 percent from the field and 93 percent from the free-throw line.
