CLEVELAND — Donovan Mitchell's left knee injury might keep the All-Star guard out longer than the Cavaliers initially estimated. Coach J.B. Bickerstaff added some clarity to Mitchell's injury, saying it had built up over time. Mitchell leads Cleveland in scoring and led the team through a tough stretch of injuries.
