Cavaliers facing potential Donovan Mitchell injury hell with season on brink after ugly loss to Pacers
NY Post
The Cavaliers are in major trouble.
Not only did Cleveland get obliterated by the Pacers en route to Indiana taking a 3-1 series lead in their Eastern Conference Semifinal Series, but Donovan Mitchell also left the game at halftime with an injury and did not return.
“He’ll get an MRI tomorrow,” said Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson. “I mean, no idea [of his status]. Obviously he couldn’t go in the second half, so we’ll see what the MRI says.”
Mitchell seems to have suffered the injury in the most unsuspecting of ways. It appeared to have come while he was warming up during halftime and suddenly went down while holding his ankle. Either that, or the star was testing if he could go after sustaining an injury earlier and realize he couldn’t.
Mitchell had 12 points in 20 minutes as the Cavaliers trailed by an unbelievable 41-point margin at halftime before ultimately falling 129-109.
Injuries have been persistent for Cleveland in this series, as Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and De’Andre Hunter have all already missed time with injuries.
