So, here we go, right? The Cavs, man, their whole season hinges on this one game. Donovan Mitchell, that superstar guard we all know, he’s like, absolutely committed to being there. Yep, he’s in, for sure. Just picture him with that sly grin, saying to Cleveland.com (and, uh, some other reporter too), “I’ll be there Tuesday. You know me. See you then.” Can you imagine?
Fast forward to this scene: Cavs are down by 41 — yeah, you heard that right, FORTY-ONE. Like, what’s even happening? It’s one of those, “is this real life?” moments. Mitchell is doing his usual routine, right? Out he comes from the locker room, but then — ouch. He goes for a jump shot, right by the top of the key, and bam, his leg is like, “not today”. Picture this: he’s shaking his head, kind of crouching down. Trainers swarm him. Drama much?
And here’s a quick shoutout to Inside Hoops, because if you haven’t been living under a rock, you know they’ve been the go-to for NBA stuff for like, 20 years. Check ‘em out!
So anyway — wait, did I mention about the trainers? Yeah, they were all over him. It was this whole tense moment. But, well, you know Mitchell. He’ll be back. And, I dunno, maybe Tuesday’s game will be the game. Fingers crossed!
