Donovan Mitchell Injury Update: 3/25/25 vs. the Trail Blazers

Donovan Mitchell ($8,700) has been dealing with a groin issue, which caused him to miss two games a few weeks ago. He did play over 30 minutes in four straight when he returned, so it’s not a serious issue. With Cleveland up on the second-seed Boston Celtics by five games with 11 remaining, the Cavaliers are trying to squeeze as much rest as possible for the playoffs.

Mitchell played only 21 minutes on Sunday during a 29-point victory over the Utah Jazz. Now he will sit on Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. There is no back-to-back scenario, but Cleveland does have one on Thursday and Friday.

With Mitchell off the court this season, Ty Jerome ($4,400) has seen a usage bump of 4.8% while Darius Garland ($8,000) has had a 3.95% increase.

Isaac Okoro ($3,200) entered the starting lineup for the last two games while Mitchell was out and will likely get the nod again. He’s a 3-and-D player who is not fantasy relevant.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
