Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Donovan Mitchell suffered a knee injury in Game 6 against the Orlando Magic, going back to the locker room near the middle of the third quarter. Mitchell eventually did come back to the team bench, but he’s likely going to be hobbling the rest of the way as the Cavaliers attempt to close out the series.

There was a shot in the hallway to the locker room where Mitchell was leaning over and trying to find some weight in his knee, which has been an issue for the guard all season. Mitchell missed some time late in the regular season as he attempted to recover from the issue. He eventually would return for the end of the campaign.
It’s been a great game for Mitchell, who has 28 points to lead Cleveland. The Cavaliers are attempting to advance to the second round of the playoffs after getting bounced in the first round last year at the hands of the Knicks.
