The Cleveland Cavaliers will face the Boston Celtics tonight at TD Garden. The game is significant as it could feature star player Donovan Mitchell’s availability.
Will Donovan Mitchell Play Tonight for Cavaliers vs. Celtics on October 29?
Donovan Mitchell is listed as questionable for tonight’s matchup due to left hamstring tightness. He has been a vital player for the Cavaliers, averaging 31.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.5 steals across their first four games. His potential absence would be a considerable setback for the team, which is already missing key players.
Injuries Affecting the Cavaliers
- Darius Garland: recovering from surgery
- Max Strus: recovering from surgery
- Sam Merrill: suffering from a right hip contusion
Cavaliers fans received a glimmer of hope when Mitchell posted “#LetEmKnow” on his X (formerly Twitter) account, indicating he may still play.
Celtics’ Injury Situation
The Boston Celtics also have injury concerns. Jaylen Brown is listed as probable due to a left hamstring strain and ongoing injury management. Despite these challenges, he has been a reliable offensive option, particularly during Jayson Tatum’s recovery from Achilles tendon surgery.
Following a rocky 0-3 start, Brown played a crucial role in the Celtics’ first win against the New Orleans Pelicans, contributing 15 points, seven rebounds, and four assists in just 21 minutes. However, there is speculation that Coach Joe Mazzulla may choose to rest him for tonight’s game.
The game promises to be intense given the stakes and the injury concerns on both sides. Fans are eager to see how the situation develops as game time approaches.
