The Cleveland Cavaliers lost star Donovan Mitchell after what was a historically-bad first half on Sunday night.
Mitchell did not take the court with the Cavaliers for the second half of their Game 4 matchup against the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Sunday. Mitchell wasn’t with the team on the bench, either, as the second half got started in Indianapolis.

Then midway through the second half, the Cavaliers said that Mitchell was doubtful to return with a left ankle injury. Mitchell actually tweaked his ankle while warming back up for the second half. He was seen preparing to take a shot near the top of the arc when he suddenly stepped awkwardly and bent down, clearly in a lot of pain.
Further specifics of his injury are not yet known. Mitchell had 12 points and shot 3-of-11 from the field in the first half.
The Pacers, who entered the night with a 2-1 series lead, jumped to a 38-23 lead after the opening quarter while holding the Cavaliers to just four made field goals in the first 12 minutes. The Pacers opened the second quarter on a 10-0 run, too, which gave them a 25-point lead.

The Pacers closed the second quarter on a 19-2 tear to jump up by 41 — which matched an NBA postseason record. They dropped 80 points in the first half alone while shooting 60% from the field, and they seemingly couldn’t miss. They hit their final seven shots of the period, too, and had 25 assists. That’s the most in any half of a playoff game in the play-by-play area.
The Cavaliers, on the other hand, managed just eight made field goals in the first half compared to the 30 that the Pacers made.
This post will be updated with more information shortly.

Cubs’ Jameson Taillon aims to forget most recent outing as Marlins visit
Apr 27, 2025; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Chicago Cubs pitcher Jameson Taillon (50) throws the ball against the Philadelphia Phillies during the first inning at Wrigley Field. Mandatory Credit: David Banks-Imagn Images Chicago Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon was left to lament a porous performance in his most recent outing. Fresh off allowing a career-high four homers, Taillon will look to keep the ball in the park on Wednesday as the Chicago Cubs vie for a three-game series sweep of the visiting Miami Marlins. Prior to his generous outing against the New York Mets on Friday, Taillon (2-2, 4.53 ERA) had allowed six homers in his first seven starts of the season. "Maybe (I'll) just take the next couple of days to evaluate some of the game-planning and execution there," Taillon said after the game, per the Chicago Sun-Times. "They jumped on […]
Reprezentace se fotila, Kondelík se loučil. Zraněný Kundrátek trénuje bez úlev
Herning (Od našich zpravodajů) - Do tréninkové haly opět dorazili autobusem a už v plné zbroji. Při výstupu na hokejisty čekalo trio českých fanoušků v dresech Pastrňáka a Krejčího a právě s největší reprezentační hvězdou se rovněž vyfotili, stejně jako s vysokým útočníkem Adamem Klapkou, jehož vedení týmu v úterý večer dopsalo na soupisku.Pak následovalo společné focení, které organizoval manažer týmu Milan Hnilička. Toho se zúčastnil i Jáchym Kondelík, po jeho konci však z ledu zmizel, na střídačce se objal a rozloučil s kustody a zřejmě už dnes zamíří do Česka, kde má podstoupit operaci.Naopak Tomáš Kundrátek, který si rovněž ze zápasu s Norskem odnesl zranění a proti Dánsku nehrál, na ledě zůstal a trénuje. U něho je tedy situace mnohem pozitivnější.Trénink bude trvat zhruba do 15.45 h. Po něm se hráči i trenéři opět přesunou do hlavní haly, kde prozradí více o plánech s náhradou za Kondelíka. Podle informací Sport.cz ale není ve hře, že by dorazil narychlo nějaký hráč z Evropy, […]
