Donovan Mitchell injury: Cavaliers Star leaves game 4 blowout against Pacers with ankle edition

Donovan Mitchell was the only ray of hope for the Cleveland Cavaliers in her first three playoff games against the Indiana Pacers. Although Mitchell was covered in series 2: 1, he scored an average of 41.3 points per game in the second round. On Sunday, his dominance was her only consistent strength against an Indiana team that was achieved at the perfect time. And then, in game 4, everything fell apart.

The Pacers closed the cavaliers into the melody in the first half of 80-39. This 41-point gap is bound for the largest half-time lead in playoff history. This made a comeback with game 4 as good as impossible, but to have injured the insult, Mitchell did not really see from the changing room before the second half. He tried to take a few pictures, but did not look comfortable. After all, he was not on the pitch or even on the Cavs bench when the second half started.

The Cavaliers doubted Mitchell to return with an left ankle injury, which did not offer any further specificity. Without knowing the exact nature of the injury, his long -term forecast is not clear. However, what we can say with certainty is that Cleveland does not win this series if Mitchell has to miss games.

Cleveland has to win three consecutive games, including one in Indiana, to achieve the final of the Eastern Conference. Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and De'andre Hunter play all injuries and missed game 2. This team was already working considerably less than full strength, but Mitchell was so good that he kept them in the mix.

Without him? This season at 64 victories could come to an end.
