Impact Mitchell has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful Wednesday due to a left groin strain he suffered in his previous game.

Impact Mitchell's absence from practice comes as no major surprise after he didn't return to Monday's 113-103 win over the Pelicans after exiting in the third quarter with a left groin strain. Though the Cavaliers aren't yet ruling Mitchell out for Wednesday's game, he'll have to make the trip to Memphis and presumably take part in the team's morning shootaround that day without any major issues in order to get cleared to play. If Mitchell is out Wednesday, the Cavaliers are likely to turn to an assortment of players to fill his minutes, with all of Caris LeVert, Lamar Stevens, Cedi Osman and Isaac Okoro being candidates to pick up additional run.

Severity of groin injury unknown Cavaliers head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said after Monday's 113-103 win over the Pelicans that he's uncertain of the severity of the left groin strain Mitchell suffered in the third...

Impact Bickerstaff is scheduled to meet with the media Tuesday, at which point he may provide an update on Mitchell's status. Before missing the latter portion of the third quarter and the entire fourth quarter, Mitchell produced 11 points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and one block in 22 minutes while turning the ball over four times. If MItchell isn't available for Wednesday's game in Memphis, point guard Darius Garland would likely benefit from heightened usage, and more minutes would be available for wing players like Caris LeVert, Lamar Stevens, Cedi Osman and Isaac Okoro.

Struggles in Saturday's loss Mitchell provided 14 points (5-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds and six assists in 37 minutes during Saturday's 110-102 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Mitchell came into the game as questionable due to an illness but managed to play a team-high 37 minutes. While the fact he played is a good sign, managers may have actually preferred it if he took the night off given his subpar performance. He was woeful from both the field and the charity stripe, turning in one of his worst efforts of the season. The Cavaliers will host the Pelicans on Monday, and while Mitchell should be good to go, managers may want to keep an eye on the injury report just in case his symptoms flare up.

Impact Mitchell was added to the injury report with a non-COVID illness Saturday morning but is good to go for the contest. Although he remains a must-start option in season-long formats, daily managers may want to proceed with caution considering Mitchell may be facing physical limitations due to the illness.

Picks up questionable tag Mitchell has been added to the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Timberwolves due to an illness.

Impact Late additions to the injury report usually don't bode particularly well, so it will be worth monitoring the star guard's status as the opening tip draws near. Unfortunately, the Cavs aren't part of the first round of tipoffs, so his status may not be officially determined before lineups lock, leaving fewer pivot options.
