Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Will rest Sunday

Mitchell has been dealing with a nagging groin injury

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell will rest on Sunday against the Indiana Pacers due to a nagging groin injury, the team announced on Saturday.

Mitchell has been dealing with the injury for the past few weeks and has missed the Cavs' last two games. He is expected to return to the lineup on Monday when the Cavs host the Charlotte Hornets.

Mitchell is averaging 28.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game this season. He is one of the most important players on the Cavs, who are currently in sixth place in the Eastern Conference.

The Cavs will likely be without Mitchell for at least one more game

The Cavs will likely be without Mitchell for at least one more game, as the team wants to give him time to rest and recover from his injury.

In Mitchell's absence, the Cavs will need other players to step up and fill the void. Darius Garland, Jarrett Allen, and Evan Mobley will all need to play well if the Cavs want to continue to win games.

The Cavs are 2-1 in the three games that Mitchell has missed this season. They will be looking to continue their winning ways on Sunday against the Pacers.

The Pacers are a young and rebuilding team

The Pacers are a young and rebuilding team, so they will be no pushovers for the Cavs.

The Pacers are led by Tyrese Haliburton, who is one of the most promising young players in the NBA. Haliburton is averaging 20.2 points, 9.8 assists, and 4.0 rebounds per game this season.

The Pacers also have a number of other young players who are starting to show promise, such as Bennedict Mathurin, Andrew Nembhard, and Jalen Smith.

The Cavs should be favored to win the game

The Cavs should be favored to win the game, but they will need to play well to beat the Pacers.

The Cavs have a more experienced team and they are playing at home. They will also be motivated to win after losing their last two games.

The Pacers are a young and talented team, but they are still rebuilding. They will be a tough opponent, but the Cavs should be able to win the game if they play to their potential.
