Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (nose) is listed as available on the league's official injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Nuggets. Mitchell dealt with various ailments over the last few months and only played two contests before finally returning on Friday against Philadelphia. He logged 32 minutes. However, the 27-year-old finished with only 12 points, shooting a rough 4-for-13 from the field. Hopefully, Mitchell shook off any residual rust caused by his prolonged absence. Yet, he'll still have a tough matchup on tap with the champs.
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (nose) will return to the court on Friday against Philadelphia, ending a six-game absence. This will be only his third appearance of the month, as the Cavaliers superstar has had some awful luck with injuries. Mitchell's return pushes Isaac Okoro back to the second unit, which will be a big blow to his fantasy appeal. The Sixers had massive struggles containing Mitchell in the last head-to-head clash, giving up 36 points.
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee, nose) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Philadelphia 76ers. The upgrade coincides with a report on Wednesday from The Athletic's Shams Charania that Mitchell was targeting a return on Friday from a six-game absence with a knee injury and nasal fracture. Even so, the two-way superstar's status could ultimately come down to a game-time decision based on pregame warmups. Point forward Caris LeVert's run as a primary ball handler for the Cavs could be nearing a close, averaging 11.8 points, 7.8 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 threes, and 1.4 steals through his last 12 games (seven starts). He should remain held in all fantasy leagues until Mitchell is officially cleared, though.
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (nose/knee) is targeting a return to action as soon as Friday's home game versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Mitchell has been sidelined since March 16 due to a knee issue and nasal fracture, but he's now on the cusp of a return. Although the two-way All-Star guard won't be available for Wednesday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets, Mitchell still has a chance to return during the fantasy semifinals and boost playoff rosters. Swingman Caris LeVert is averaging 12.5 points, 7.8 assists, 4.9 rebounds, 1.5 steals, and 1.3 three-pointers over his last 11 appearances (seven starts), and he remains a must-roster player against a Hornets team that's tied for the third-worst defensive efficiency rating (116.8) in basketball.
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (nose) had a procedure for a nasal fracture and will be re-evaluated in one week. Mitchell missed Monday's win over the Indiana Pacers due to a fractured nose and will now be unavailable for a significant portion of the fantasy postseason as a result. Darius Garland will continue to take on heavy ball-handling duties in the meantime, and Caris LeVert should be rostered in all leagues. In 14 games without Mitchell this season, LeVert is submitting 15.0 points, 6.1 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers, and 1.2 steals per contest.
