Donovan Mitchell Sidelined with Knee Injury, Cavs Secure Win Against Celtics

The Cleveland Cavaliers' star guard will miss at least three games due to a bone bruise, with his condition to be re-evaluated after the third game.

Donovan Mitchell, the Cleveland Cavaliers' star guard, is sidelined with a left knee injury, diagnosed as a bone bruise, and will miss at least three games.
The injury, which developed over time due to wear and tear, led to Mitchell receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection aimed at speeding up his recovery.
Mitchell's condition will be re-evaluated after the third game, with updates on his return expected following the games against the Minnesota Timberwolves on March 8 or the Brooklyn Nets on March 10.
Despite Mitchell's absence, the Cavaliers showcased resilience by securing a win against the league-best Boston Celtics, overcoming a 22-point deficit.
Mitchell's injury puts his eligibility for All-NBA honors at risk, as he may fall below the required 65-game threshold after missing these games.
