Mon Mar 6 202318:43Donovan Mitchell Cleared On Monday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hand) has been cleared to play during Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. He left Saturday's game due to a left hand issue, but didn't have any problems during his pregame routine on Monday. That being said, Mitchell will play and should play his normal amount of minutes. Fantasy managers should double check their lineups to make sure Mitchell is in there. Caris LeVert will remain on the bench, so he won't have increased value.

LeBron James Injury Update

James injured his right foot during the third quarter of Sunday's comeback win over the Dallas Mavericks. It was a tense few seconds after the multi-time MVP clutched his foot after suffering what was deemed a "non-contact injury." The concern grew to greater heights after he was overheard saying, "I heard a pop." Situations like this are never good, as many were concerned that an Achilles tear could be the culprit.https://twitter.com/FanDuelTV/status/1630602449227595777?s=20Yet, after James gathered himself, he tightened his shoe and finished the game, totaling 26 points, eight rebounds, one block, and one steal. Head coach Darvin Ham appeared optimistic while speaking postgame, stating the 38-year-old was "good."However, that couldn't be further from the case, with The Athletic's Shams Charania reporting that James would "miss an extended period of time" because of the foot injury. Charania later added that the all-time scoring leader would "require multiple opinions."https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1630363560051187712?s=20 

LeBron James' Season Recap

Despite James' advanced NBA age, he's still productive. In 47 appearances, he's averaged 29.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 6.9 assists. While his three-point percentage has regressed, that's never been his strong suit.James was also named an All-Star captain while recently passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the NBA's all-time scoring leader.https://twitter.com/NBAonTNT/status/1623184801284104192?s=20That said, despite some high-level accomplishments, the year has been a rough one for the 2003 No. 1 overall pick. He's battled left foot soreness for nearly the entire season, so much so that he routinely carried some type of injury designation heading into almost all of his games over the last few months....

Fri Feb 10 202308:16Donovan Mitchell And Darius Garland Will Return Friday
Cleveland Cavaliers guards Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland are both off of the injury report and are expected to suit up on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans. They both sat out on Wednesday leaving the team very thin in the backcourt, but they'll get their star power back in time for a matchup against a Pelicans team still fighting to get a playoff berth.

Wed Feb 8 202318:12Darius Garland And Donovan Mitchell Out Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guards Darius Garland (thumb) and Donovan Mitchell (groin) have been downgraded to out Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons. Garland and Mitchell were originally slated to play before being downgraded to questionable and then ruled out before game-time. Raul Neto and Caris LeVert are expected to join the starting lineup and would be cheap DFS options.

Wed Feb 8 202314:43Donovan Mitchell Questionable Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) could be forced to sit out Wednesday's game against Detroit, with the team regarding him as questionable for the contest. He is bothered by left groin soreness and having some time off might actually benefit Mitchell, as he has averaged only 14.6 points across his past five appearances. Caris LeVert will become a very appealing option for fantasy managers if Mitchell can't play, especially in a situation where Darius Garland (thumb) is also in danger of missing the contest. Cleveland's injury problems could also give Isaac Okoro extra opportunities to keep up recent improved production.

Kyrie Irving's Season Recap

Irving got suspended for an antisemitic social media post, keeping him out of the lineup for eight games.

He's played well all season, averaging 27.1 points, 5.3 assists, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 40 appearances.https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1622324668047794177?s=20&t=NTffJ2tRvNpjAA7bddjYHQHe was also selected to the All-Star team for the eighth time in his career.

Thu Feb 2 202321:50Donovan Mitchell Ejected On Thursday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell has been ejected from Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This happened when Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks fell and rolled onto Mitchell's foot. Somehow, Brooks managed to also hit Mitchell below the belt while falling to the ground. It's uncertain if it was intentional, but regardless it led to the two of them getting into a brawl. Both players were ejected from the contest. It's unclear if either of these players will face suspensions. Cedi Osman and Ricky Rubio stand to gain the most value if Mitchell is forced to miss some action.

Mon Jan 23 202318:22Donovan Mitchell Upgraded To Probable For Tuesday
