He missed the second half with a left ankle injury, the team announced. Coach Kenny Atkinson said after the game that Mitchell will get an MRI on Monday and he has "no idea" on his status for Tuesday's Game 5. The Cavaliers did open as an eight-point favorite on FanDuel in Game 5 even with Mitchell's status unclear.

Not only did the Cavs put forth an embarrassing effort on their way to a 129-109 loss that put them in a 3-1 series deficit, but they also lost star guard Donovan Mitchell to an ankle injury.

With the Cavs trailing by 41 points at halftime — tied for the largest deficit in playoff history — Mitchell came out of the locker room for warmups as usual. And then he exited in discomfort.
