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.

Now, the top seed in the Eastern Conference is just a single game away from an early postseason exit.
