Cavaliers Face Uncertainty with Mitchell’s Injury
The Cleveland Cavaliers suffered a significant defeat, 109-129, against the Indiana Pacers, but more pressing is the potential loss of star guard Donovan Mitchell. Mitchell exited the game with an ankle injury in the second half and didn’t return, with his status for game five yet to be determined. Coach Kenny Atkinson admitted, “I have no idea what it looks like for Tuesday.”
With a 1-3 deficit, the Cavs are under pressure. Mitchell’s return could make or break their series.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green criticized the NBA after receiving his fifth technical foul of the postseason against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He believes there’s a targeted agenda against him. ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, however, brushed off Green’s comments, saying, “Don’t play the victim… We are tired of [your antics].”
Green’s next technical foul will result in an automatic one-game suspension.
