Donovan Mitchell won’t be playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers in their match against his former team, the Utah Jazz.
Mitchell is sitting out due to injury management. He’s been dealing with various injuries, including a left knee bruise and a broken nose, limiting his playing time since the break.
Cleveland’s coach, J.B. Bickerstaff, anticipates Mitchell’s return for the next game against the Phoenix Suns. With more games coming up, they’re cautious about not overburdening him and ensuring he gets enough rest.
Caris LeVert will take Mitchell’s place in the starting lineup against Utah.
Mitchell had played in two consecutive games after missing several due to injuries in March. However, his performance was below his usual standards.
Cleveland has been facing challenges with injuries lately and has a mixed record in their recent games. Despite this, they’re still in contention for a good position in the Eastern Conference standings.
