Donovan Mitchell took the breath away from Cleveland Cavaliers fans on Sunday night when he was taken back to the locker room with an ankle injury. He returned to the game but was ruled out of the team’s next contest against the Chicago Bulls where they would have another chance to capture the No.

For the game, they will be without their best player, as Donovan Mitchell has been ruled out. The All-Star guard is averaging 24.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.3 steals per contest while shooting 44.

Donovan Mitchell and the Cavs must be conservative about his injury with the playoffs looming. The All-Star's health is paramount to NBA title hopes.

The severity of the sprain isn't known, but even if it's just a minor concern, the Cavaliers won't take any chances with the star guard Tuesday while the team needs just one win over its final four games of the regular season to clinch the Eastern Conference's No.

Needing one more win — or a Celtics loss — the top-seeded Cavs have ruled out star guard Donovan Mitchell for Tuesday’s home game against Chicago because of a left ankle sprain suffered in the second half of Sunday’s 120-113 loss.

Cavs star Donovan Mitchell’s ankle scare has Cleveland holding its breath. With the playoffs looming, everything now hinges on his health.
