All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell won’t be in the lineup Sunday night when the undefeated Cleveland Cavaliers host the Charlotte Hornets.
Mitchell, 28, is one of the reasons the Cavaliers enter the contest with a 14-0 mark. He’s leading the team in scoring (24.6 points per game) and steals (1.5) but also minutes at 31.1 per game.
He’s also averaging 4.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game.
Mitchell is a five-time All-Star.
The Cavaliers have upcoming back-to-back games. They’ll meet the Celtics in Boston on Tuesday, then return home to play the New Orleans Pelicans.
