Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson confirmed on Sunday that Donovan Mitchell will undergo an MRI on Monday.

On May 11, local time, the Cleveland Cavaliers lost to the Indiana Pacers 109-129 in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Their core guard Donovan Mitchell also sprained his left ankle during the warm-up phase in the third quarter, and Ty Jerome was eventually substituted in.

Before his injury, Mitchell played a total of 20 minutes in this game, contributing 12 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal, shooting 27.3% and 20.0% from three-point range. Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson said after the game that Mitchell will undergo an MRI on Monday. As for whether he can play in the next game, Atkinson did not disclose any details.

"I don't know," he said. "Obviously, Donovan was not going to play in the second half. We need to wait for the results of the MRI."

According to Danny Cunningham, a Cavaliers reporter, Mitchell was not wearing protective boots when he left the court, which indicates that his injury may not be too serious and he still has a chance to play in Game 5.

The next game of the NBA Eastern Conference semifinals will be held in Cleveland in two days. The Cavaliers must win Game 5 to keep their hopes of advancing. If Mitchell can play, it will greatly enhance the team's competitiveness.

So far in this year's NBA playoffs, Mitchell has contributed 28.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.6 steals, with a shooting percentage of 46.2% and a three-point shooting percentage of 33.8%.
