SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The injury bug continues to plague the Cleveland Cavaliers as their star guard, Donovan Mitchell, is once again sidelined. He will be sitting out a game against his former team, the Utah Jazz. Mitchell is dealing with a left knee injury, and it is unknown how long he will be out. This latest setback adds to a long list of injuries for the Cavaliers, who have been constantly rotating players on their injury report.

Mitchell’s Absence Hurts Cavaliers

Donovan Mitchell’s absence is a significant blow to the Cleveland Cavaliers. As a former member of the Utah Jazz, Mitchell’s return to Salt Lake City would have been highly anticipated. Unfortunately, his left knee injury has prevented him from taking the court. The Cavaliers have been plagued by injuries throughout the season, with the injury report constantly changing. This has made it challenging for the team to find stability and consistency in their lineup.

“Donovan Mitchell is out for Tuesday’s game against the Utah Jazz due to his left knee injury management,” said the Cleveland Cavaliers’ official statement.

Opportunity for the Jazz

The Utah Jazz, Mitchell’s former team, will have the opportunity to end their nine-game losing streak as they face the Cavaliers without their star guard. This game holds extra significance for both sides as the Jazz hope to turn their season around, while the Cavaliers aim to push for a spot in the playoffs.

Denver Nuggets vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

The Denver Nuggets and Cleveland Cavaliers face off in a crucial game for both teams. As third seeds in their respective conferences, a win could have significant implications for their playoff positioning. The Nuggets will be looking to take advantage of the Cavaliers’ injury woes as they try to secure a victory at home.
