Is Donovan Mitchell playing today against Orlando Magic? Latest injury update for Cavaliers star (Mar. 16)

Donovan Mitchell is questionable against the Orlando Magic. The Cleveland Cavaliers star has been dealing with a left groin soreness injury since Mar. 10. He's missed two games since. Mitchell will be a game-time decision for Sunday afternoon's contest at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse.

It won't be a surprise if the Cavaliers rest him for another game before they begin a five-game West Coast road trip on Tuesday against the LA Clippers. Cleveland also hasn't missed Mitchell much after extending its winning streak to 16 games after beating Brooklyn and Memphis in the last two games.

It would be a good break for Mitchell, too. He has played 60 games, averaging 24.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists on 45.1% shooting. The Cavaliers have already clinched the playoffs and ensuring Mitchell gets as much rest as possible over the final 16 games.
