Donovan Mitchell News, Rumors, Updates - Cleveland Cavaliers | FOX Sports

Will not play Thursday Mitchell (groin) will not take the floor for Thursday's meeting with the Rockets, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact On Tuesday, Mitchell returned from a three-game absence due to the injured left groin and recorded 24 points, eight rebounds and eight assists across 38 minutes. However, with Thursday's contest being the opening leg of a back-to-back set, the Cavaliers will opt to give Mitchell the night off and not risk re-injury. Caris LeVert is the favorite to step into Mitchell's vacated spot in the first unit.

Officially questionable Thursday Mitchell (groin) is questionable for Thursday's game against Houston, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

Impact Mitchell returned from a three-game absence Tuesday against the Knicks but appeared to aggravate his groin injury late in the game. He was unable to practice Wednesday, and it's unclear whether he'll be available a day later. If he's sidelined, Caris LeVert should reclaim a starting role.

Sits out practice Wednesday Mitchell (groin) failed to practice Wednesday, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact After missing three straight games with a groin injury, Mitchell returned to action in Tuesday's loss to the Knicks but appeared to aggravate the groin issue during the Cavaliers' final possession of the game. Given that the guard failed to practice Wednesday, he should be considered questionable, at best, for Thursday's matchup against the Rockets until the Cavaliers officially release an injury report. Caris LeVert will likely step back into the starting lineup if Mitchell sits out.

Teases triple-double in return Mitchell ended Tuesday's 105-103 loss to the Knicks with 24 points (9-24 FG, 6-14 3Pt), eight rebounds, eight assists, one block and four steals over 38 minutes.

Impact It was a heroic effort from the 26-year-old in his return from a three-game absence due to a groin injury, but he may have overdone it -- Mitchell struggled to get up after his final dunk attempt late in the game was blocked, and per Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com, he said after the game it felt like his groin had tightened up again. The Cavaliers play Thursday in Houston and Friday in Oklahoma City, so Mitchell could be rested for at least one of those games if he's not yet 100 percent.

Set to play, start Tuesday Mitchell (groin) will play Tuesday against the Knicks and is in the starting lineup, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact The return of the All-Star guard will provide a massive boost to the Cavaliers on offense, and he will return following a three-game absence. He's averaging 30.0 points, 5.6 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game in January and figures to handle his regular workload.

Tabbed probable Mitchell (groin) is likely to play in Tuesday's matchup with the Knicks, Danny Cunningham of 850 ESPN Cleveland reports.

Impact Mitchell appears to be on pace for a return from a three-game leave due to a strained left groin Tuesday after being listed as probable and logging a full practice Monday. His absence has allowed Caris LeVert to step into the first unit, but LeVert will likely slide back to the bench if Mitchell is active.

Full go at practice Monday Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Mitchell (groin) was a full participant during Monday's practice, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

Impact Mitchell has missed three straight games while dealing with a groin injury, but it appears he's nearing a return to game action. His official status for Tuesday's matchup against the Knicks will be known when Cleveland releases its next injury report, which should drop sometime Monday afternoon.

Out again Saturday Mitchell (groin) will not play Saturday versus the Bucks.

Impact Mitchell is scheduled for his third consecutive absence while working his way back from an injury, leaving the Cavaliers' backcourt down one of its stars yet again. Look for Caris LeVert to draw another start in Mitchell's absence, while Mitchell will shift his focus toward Tuesday when the team begins a three-game road trip in New York for his next opportunity to suit up.

Ruled out Friday Mitchell (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Golden State.

Impact Mitchell was questionable ahead of Friday's matchup but will be unavailable for a second consecutive game as he deals with a left groin strain. Whether he'll be available for the second half of the back-to-back set Saturday against Milwaukee remains to be seen, but Caris LeVert should see increased run against the Warriors.
