Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) said he is unlikely to play in Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers.
After struggling with a knee bruise in Cleveland's last two games, Mitchell told the media he is unlikely to suit up on Monday due to his discomfort. "I'm probably not playing next game to be completely honest with you," said Mitchell after today's game. "Kinda just take some rest and get it right. I thought I was ready but I'm not and it sucks and I want to be out there but it's clear as day, even to myself, I can't fool myself."
With Mitchell unlikely to go on Monday, expect Isaac Okoro to join Cleveland's starting five on Monday while Darius Garland should play a lead offensive role.
