May 11, 2025; Indianapolis, Indiana, USA; Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (45) dribbles the ball while Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (2) defends during game four of the second round for the 2025 NBA Playoffs at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Mandatory Credit: Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images Cavaliers All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell participated in shootaround at Cleveland Clinic Courts on Tuesday morning, hours ahead of his team’s crucial Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Indiana Pacers.
Mitchell is listed as questionable with a sprained left ankle for the top-seeded Cavaliers, who trail 3-1 in the best-of-seven series.
“We don’t know anything about Donovan,” Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland said Tuesday, per the Akron Beacon Journal. “It’s a game-time decision at this point, so I’ll see the same time y’all see.”
ESPN reported Monday an MRI showed an aggravation of the injury.
Mitchell did not play in the second half of Sunday’s 129-109 setback in Indianapolis, finishing with 12 points on 3-of-11 shooting and zero assists in 20 minutes. The Cavaliers trailed 80-39 at the break.
Mitchell warmed up for the second half but experienced discomfort in the ankle and was checked out by the training staff. The six-time All-Star went back to the locker room for treatment and did not return to the game.
Mitchell, 28, was coming off back-to-back monster efforts in Game 2 (48 points) and Game 3 (43 points). For the series, he is averaging 34.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.8 steals in four starts.

2025 Fantasy Football Sleepers 1.0 from Jamey Eisenberg: Justin Fields’ legs gives him top-10 upside, and more
USA Today It's time for Round 2 of sleepers for this season, and this is the first edition following free agency and the NFL Draft. Obviously, a lot has changed since Sleepers 1.0 (INSERT LINK HERE), especially with the rookies, and these are players you should plan to target with mid- to late-round picks. Once we get legitimate Average Draft Position data then we can truly define sleepers for this year. For now, these are players that I anticipate being drafted after Round 8 based on mock drafts we've done with our CBS Sports staff, as well as drafts that I've participated in with other analysts for different publications. The outlooks for several of these players could change through minicamps and off-season workouts. And we'll adjust with another version of sleepers during training camp to get you prepared for your […]

Muller define três clubes ameaçados no Brasileirão: “Um dos grandes vai cair”
Muller, comentarista da TV Gazeta (Reprodução) Muller prevê que, em 2025, um dos grandes clubes do Brasileirão será rebaixado. Embora o campeonato esteja no início, o ex-jogador trouxe um aviso para três times fortemente ameaçados pelo Z-4. Inicialmente, Grêmio e Santos, acumulando atuações irregulares nas oito primeiras rodadas, foram incluídos no grupo que podem encarar um cenário melancólico no final do ano. “Um dos grandes vai cair neste ano de novo. Grêmio, Santos… se os times grandes não abrirem o olho. ‘Ah, o campeonato tá começando, eu posso errar’. O Santos só tem uma vitória no campeonato. Essa poupança de derrotas faz falta lá na frente. Tem o critério de desempate de vitórias e saldo de gols.”, disse Muller, no podcast Tá na Área, da Gazeta Esportiva.
