Mitchell totaled 35 points (8-25 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 15-21 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 114-105 loss to Indiana in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell aggravated a left ankle injury in Game 4 but shook off a questionable tag to suit up Tuesday. He tweaked the ankle again in the third quarter of Game 5 but returned a few minutes later and led a comeback that fell short. Mitchell finished with a game-high 35 points in Cleveland's final outing of the season, and despite scoring at least 30 points in four of the five second-round contests, the superstar guard was unable to get the Cavaliers past the Pacers. After a highly successful regular season ended with the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, Cleveland's postseason will warrant a lot of discussion, both internally and externally.

EDGE Analysis
Mitchell was listed as questionable before Tuesday's game due to a sprained left ankle that he aggravated during Sunday's Game 4 loss, and he limped to the locker room with 4:44 remaining in the third.

Mitchell has averaged 34.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.8 steals across 31.8 minutes per game in four second-round appearances. If he's unable to suit up Tuesday, De'Andre Hunter, Ty Jerome and Sam Merrill are candidates for a bump in minutes.

Mitchell (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers, Charania reports.
EDGE Analysis
After undergoing an MRI on Monday, Mitchell has been diagnosed with a reaggravation of a left ankle injury. The superstar guard didn't play in the second half of Game 4, and it is uncertain whether he'll be able to suit up for Game 5. If Mitchell cannot play Tuesday, the Cavaliers will likely turn to Ty Jerome to help shoulder the load in the backcourt alongside Darius Garland. Cleveland faces elimination for the first time in these playoffs, with the Pacers holding a commanding 3-1 series lead.

Mitchell (ankle) recorded 12 points (3-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound, one block and one steal over 20 minutes during Sunday's 129-109 loss to Indiana in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell played only 20 minutes during Sunday's game due to an ankle injury. However, the superstar guard didn't make much of an impact in the short time he was on the floor, as he hit only three of his 15 shot attempts. The Cavaliers now face an uphill battle to get back into this second-round series, and it remains to be seen if Mitchell will be available to help them stave off elimination when the series shifts to Cleveland for Game 5 on Tuesday.

Mitchell (ankle) will undergo an MRI on Monday to assess the severity of his ankle injury per Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell is dealing with a left ankle injury, which kept him sidelined for the second half of Game 4. The superstar guard logged 20 minutes Sunday, finishing with 12 points, one rebound, one steal and one block. Injuries continue to take a toll on the top-seeded Cavaliers, as several of the team's best players have missed time during this series, including Evan Mobley, Darius Garland and De'Andre Hunter. With a potential elimination scenario on tap in Game 5 on Tuesday in Cleveland, Mitchell will undoubtedly do everything possible to return for that contest, but his availability or lack therefore isn't likely to be confirmed until shortly before tipoff.
