Donovan Mitchell Set for Playoff Return Despite Ankle Injury

Posted : 13 April 2025

Donovan Mitchell is expected to be fully ready for the Cleveland Cavaliers' playoff push, despite missing the last four regular-season games due to a sprained left ankle. The All-Star guard suffered the injury on April 6 during a game against the Sacramento Kings.

 

He has since resumed on-court workouts, including a full session at the team's training facility on Saturday and another light session before Sunday’s game against the Indiana Pacers.

 

Cavs head coach Kenny Atkinson noted that Mitchell would continue to build up his conditioning while focusing on ankle rehab.

 

Atkinson also mentioned that Mitchell would likely participate in an intersquad scrimmage with referees as part of his preparation. The team has been cautious with Mitchell's recovery, ensuring he’s physically ready for the playoffs.

 

The Cavaliers, who finished the regular season with a 63-18 record, will enter the playoffs as the top seed in the Eastern Conference for the first time since their 2016 NBA title win.

 

Mitchell, who leads the team with an average of 24 points per game, is the only player in the NBA scoring at least 24 points in 32 minutes or fewer. Cleveland's first playoff game is slated for April 20, as the opponent won't be determined until after the final play-in tournament games.
