#Cavs J.B. Bickerstaff on why they don’t just shut down Donovan Mitchell:
“This has been a conversation between myself, him and our medical staff. It’s the thing that we’re most comfortable with. He knows his body more than anybody. He feels like he needs the reps.” – 3:52 PM
My story from earlier today on #Cavs broken offense and the numbers that illuminate just how much Donovan Mitchell is being limited by his bothersome knee. He has 1 (!!!!) dunk since the All-Star break.

Despite #Cavs star guard Donovan Mitchell being out this afternoon against the Clippers, sources say Isaac Okoro will make his return from a four-game absence caused by a sore toe.

No Donovan Mitchell for #Cavs today against the Clippers on the second day of a back to back and final game of this road trip. He is OUT for injury management related to his knee. Also, Isaac Okoro is QUESTIONABLE. – 12:43 PM
Donovan Mitchell isn’t Donovan Mitchell. Three times failing to crack the 100-point mark in two weeks. Four of their six worst offensive performances since the break. #Cavs offense looks broken. Can they fix it?

In 13 minutes this afternoon, #Cavs starting five — Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Max Strus, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen — outscored the Lakers by 9 points. During those 13 minutes, that quintet had an offensive rating of 116.7 and a defensive rating of 86.7. – 12:31 AM
Cavaliers are here for the dreaded matinee back-to-back in LA.
Well, dreaded maybe for basketball

Donovan Mitchell (38:06), Darius Garland (34:55), Jarrett Allen (33:45) all north of 30 minutes today. – 8:17 PM
The best stretches for the Lakers thus far have been with #Cavs Donovan Mitchell on the bench. He comes back here late in the third to stop the bleeding. – 5:09 PM
