Is Donovan Mitchell playing tonight? Latest injury update for Knicks vs Cavaliers Oct. 31
The New York Knicks are back in Cleveland for the first time since the 2023 playoffs and will go up against a battered but motivated Cavaliers squad. The series loss to New York still stings for Cleveland, especially for players like Isaac Okoro.
When Jalen Brunson and Donovan Mitchell play against each other, it’s always must-see television. Brunson’s guaranteed to go for Tuesday, but Mitchell sat on Saturday during Cleveland’s loss to Indiana.
Rumors have already been swirling around about Mitchell’s future and whether or not he’ll sign an extension with the Cavaliers in the 2024 offseason. If Cleveland can’t meet expectations, maybe there will be a round two of the New York-Donovan Mitchell trade saga.
