If the Cleveland Cavaliers are going to bring their best-of-seven NBA playoff series against the Boston Celtics back to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse this weekend, they will have to do it without Donovan Mitchell tonight at TD Garden in Boston. The calf injury that sidelined him in Game 4 will do so again.
Shams Charania and Joe Vardon, NBA writers for "The Athletic," report Mitchell has been ruled out for Game 5. A win by the Celtics, who lead the series 3-1, would send them into the NBA's Eastern Conference Finals.
The battered Cavs could also be without Jarrett Allen (ribs) and Caris LeVert (bone bruise), who are both listed as questionable for the game.
