Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell (ankle) doubtful to return

INDIANAPOLIS — Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell is doubtful to return to Game 4 on Sunday night with a left ankle injury.

After coming out on the court to warm up during halftime, Mitchell felt discomfort in his left ankle and stopped midway through a shot attempt, bending over at the waist before the team’s training staff came onto the court to examine him.

He went back to the locker room before the third quarter began and did not begin the second half on the floor with the team.

Mitchell scored 12 points on 3 of 11 shooting (1 of 5 from 3) in 20 minutes during the first half. Indiana trailed at halftime 80-39.

Mitchell had recorded back-to-back 40-point games entering Sunday, the first Cavs players since LeBron James to do so in consecutive playoff games.
