Aside from Dean Wade going nuts in the fourth quarter against the Celtics I think that first quarter was the best the #Cavs offense has looked since Donovan Mitchell exited the lineup. – 8:03 PM

#Cavs star Donovan Mitchell is unlikely to play tomorrow night against the Suns. But he keeps making progress, his recent reevaluation went well and he has resumed on-court activities. There’s hope he *could* be back during the upcoming road trip.

Cleveland is playing the first game of a back-to-back today against the Nets without Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, Max Strus and Dean Wade.
Mitchell and Mobley still on the road back. TBD on Strus and Wade.
Big opportunity tomorrow for the Suns with their brutal schedule. – 5:38 PM

More on this storyline
Danny Cunningham: #Cavs have ruled out Donovan Mitchell tonight. Mitchell now can play a maximum of 64 games, meaning he’s ineligible to be voted as an All-NBA player. Quite a shame. He’s had an incredible year and it won’t be recognized appropriately. -via Twitter @RealDCunningham / March 11, 2024
Gerald Bourguet: No Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, Max Strus or Dean Wade for the Cavs tonight. Huge opportunity for the Suns to pick up a win on the road, with 2 days in between their next big matchup in Boston -via Twitter @GeraldBourguet / March 11, 2024
