Donovan Mitchell is unlikely to be available for the Cleveland Cavaliers when they play at the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. The latest Donovan Mitchell injury news says the forward did not practice Tuesday because of a groin injury and was uncertain to travel with Cleveland to Memphis.
“I am not sure about that yet,” Cleveland coach J.B. Bickerstaff told the Cavaliers website.

Cleveland is a 6.5-point road underdog at Memphis. The Cavaliers are 9-13 on the road and 19-4 at home this season. They are 7-13-2 against the spread on the road, fourth worst in the NBA.
“I don’t want to put too much on the ups and downs of our road,” Bickerstaff said. “I think there are different causes for what’s happened to us on the road that we have to be better at and that we need to address, obviously. But it’s not just a matter of being at home or on the road. There’s just certain things that we need to make sure we improve on and that we carry with us.”
