JB Bickerstaff on why Cavs not shutting down Donovan Mitchell: 'He knows his body more than anybody'
Chris Fedor: #Cavs J.B. Bickerstaff on why they don’t just shut down Donovan Mitchell: “This has been a conversation between myself, him and our medical staff. It’s the thing that we’re most comfortable with. He knows his body more than anybody. He feels like he needs the reps.”

Cavaliers: second game of a back-to-back, last game of a West Coast road trip, shorthanded
You play this out, period.
JB Bickerstaff knows. That’s why he calls timeout with 4:27 left in 3rd quarter
It’s a 9-0 LAC run that cuts Cavaliers lead to 94-77. – 5:08 PM

My story from earlier today on #Cavs broken offense and the numbers that illuminate just how much Donovan Mitchell is being limited by his bothersome knee. He has 1 (!!!!) dunk since the All-Star break.

Despite #Cavs star guard Donovan Mitchell being out this afternoon against the Clippers, sources say Isaac Okoro will make his return from a four-game absence caused by a sore toe.

No Donovan Mitchell for #Cavs today against the Clippers on the second day of a back to back and final game of this road trip. He is OUT for injury management related to his knee. Also, Isaac Okoro is QUESTIONABLE. – 12:43 PM

Donovan Mitchell isn’t Donovan Mitchell. Three times failing to crack the 100-point mark in two weeks. Four of their six worst offensive performances since the break. #Cavs offense looks broken. Can they fix it?

In 13 minutes this afternoon, #Cavs starting five — Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Max Strus, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen — outscored the Lakers by 9 points. During those 13 minutes, that quintet had an offensive rating of 116.7 and a defensive rating of 86.7. – 12:31 AM

Cavaliers are here for the dreaded matinee back-to-back in LA.
Well, dreaded maybe for basketball
Isaac Okoro and Dean Wade missed today’s loss at Los Angeles Lakers.
Donovan Mitchell (38:06), Darius Garland (34:55), Jarrett Allen (33:45) all north of 30 minutes today. – 8:17 PM

The best stretches for the Lakers thus far have been with #Cavs Donovan Mitchell on the bench. He comes back here late in the third to stop the bleeding. – 5:09 PM

More on this storyline
Law Murray: The Cleveland Cavaliers report that Donovan Mitchell is out today due to left knee injury management on the second game of a back to back. Isaac Okoro (toe) has been upgraded to questionable today vs Clippers after missing yesterday at Lakers -via Twitter @LawMurrayTheNU / April 7, 2024
The buzz in NBA circles suggests that barring a run to the NBA Finals, Donovan Mitchell will decline an extension and look elsewhere, and the Cavaliers are more likely than not to move him well before he can leave outright as a free agent. -via Bleacher Report / April 5, 2024
However, Mitchell is all but certain to decline his $37.1 million player option for the 2025-26 season to explore unrestricted free agency next July. Mitchell could accept a maximum extension before then—one which multiple sources have indicated the Cavaliers would happily pay. But if he doesn’t, what then? -via Bleacher Report / April 5, 2024
