Cleveland Cavaliers guards Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland will miss Wednesday night’s game against the visiting Detroit Pistons.
Mitchell will be sidelined with groin soreness and Garland will be out due to thumb soreness. Mitchell was held out of five of Cleveland’s six games from Jan. 18-27 due to the same injury, while Garland hasn’t missed a game since Jan. 4.
