Cavs’ Mitchell Out Against Raptors Due to Hamstring Injury
Donovan Mitchell will not play in the upcoming game against the Toronto Raptors due to a hamstring injury. This absence comes as the Cleveland Cavaliers deal with multiple injuries early in the season.
Cavs’ Injury Update: Key Players Missing
In addition to Mitchell, the Cavaliers will also be without Jarrett Allen, who suffered a broken ring finger. Allen was ruled out following a recent match where Cleveland faced a tough 125-105 defeat to the Boston Celtics.
Game Performance and Stats
- Mitchell scored 15 points in the game against Boston.
- He made four successful three-point shots in the first quarter but struggled afterward.
- Overall, he went 1-of-8 in the following quarters.
- Despite his injury, he averaged 28 points over the first five games of the season.
Meanwhile, Allen, a 6-foot-11 forward, averaged 14.0 points and 7.0 rebounds in the same span. His injury adds to the Cavaliers’ struggles. The team is already missing starting point guard Darius Garland due to a toe injury, and forward Max Strus is sidelined with a foot issue after offseason surgery.
Cleveland Cavaliers Season Outlook
Despite these setbacks, the Cavaliers started the season strong, initially securing the top seed in the Eastern Conference. Last season, they faced disappointment after losing to the Indiana Pacers in the playoffs’ second round. As the team works through injuries, fans are hopeful for a swift recovery and return of key players.
