Absent since mid-March, Donovan Mitchell is very close to a return. This is good for the Cavaliers, who have been struggling without Spida lately.
The good news was announced by Shams Charania of The Athletic. According to the insider, Donovan Mitchell is aiming to return this Friday for the match between the Cavaliers and the Sixers in Cleveland.
As a reminder, the All-Star guard has not played since March 16 due to injuries to his knee and nose.

Donovan Mitchell has played in just two of Cleveland’s last 14 games. The Cavs’ record in his absence? Five victories for seven defeats. Hard hard ! If the Cavaliers were also penalized by the absence of sniper Max Strus and interior Evan Mobley (just back), Spida’s physical problems were very damaging to a Cleveland team which was thriving at the start of the year. 2024. The mediocre performances of Darius Garland did not help either, he who failed to fill the absence of Mitchell.
With the return of Donovan, the Cavaliers (44 wins – 28 losses) will aim to maintain their place on the Eastern podium, seeing New York (43-28) and even Orlando (42-29) come back very strong. This is a particularly important goal because it would allow them to avoid Boston in a potential second round of the Playoffs…
