Donovan Mitchell Out With Illness Again
5 months agoCleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) will miss the second night of a back-to-back set for Thursday's game versus the New Orleans Pelicans as he continues to deal with an illness. Mitchell should be considered day-to-day, with his next chance to suit up for Cleveland coming on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls. The two-way superstar leaves behind 27.7 points, 5.5 assists, 3.1 three-pointers, and 1.8 steals per game in his absence. Undrafted first-year player Craig Porter Jr. collected six points, seven boards, six dimes, and three blocks over 25 minutes in Wednesday's starting appearance against the Utah Jazz. The Cavaliers will lean on Caris LeVert as well, after the point forward provided 23 points, seven rebounds, and four treys with the second unit on Wednesday.
