Is Donovan Mitchell playing against the Boston Celtics?
During the Cavaliers’ previous clash against the Detroit Pistons, the 4-time All-Star went to the locker room with an injury on his finger. Mitchell did head back out to the team’s bench, however, didn’t play for the remainder of the clash.
Having seen merely 24:47 minutes of game time, Spida recorded 20 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, 1 block, and 2 steals as Cleveland clinched a 114-90 win over the Pistons.
For tonight’s clash against Jayson Tatum and co., the combo guard has been listed as “Questionable” owing to his sprained left middle finger.
Apart from Mitchell, Mamadi Diakite and Isaiah Mobley are also on the team’s injury report, listed as OUT.
Joe Mazzulla’s boys have already played 3 games in the first 5 days of March. Goes without saying, the Massachusetts-based franchise will be heavily fatigued. Nevertheless, the contest will promise to be an entertaining one.
