The Cleveland Cavaliers will face the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night in the second game of their road trip. Donovan Mitchell is listed as questionable on the injury report with an eye injury. Jarrett Allen is out for the Cavs as he deals with right knee tendinitis.
Here's everything we know about the game situation for Donovan Mitchell vs. the Bulls.
Donovan Mitchell's injury status vs. Bulls
When it comes to the question of whether Donovan Mitchell is playing tonight against the Bulls, the answer is probably. Mitchell's name was not included on the injury report until the afternoon due to a left eye injury. There was plenty of bloodshed in the Cavs' win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday.
"I can't really see out of my left eye tonight," Mitchell said after a 19-point performance on 4-of-14 from the floor. Their focus was on making an impact with the ball and on the glass while Evan Mobley and James Harden continued to build their chemistry.
Cleveland will also be without Jarrett Allen for the seventh consecutive game, and based on the latest update we know he will be sidelined again on Saturday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Craig Porter Jr. is expected to be out at least a week with a left groin strain, while Tyrese Proctor has still not been cleared to play because of a right quadriceps strain.
No surprises on the Bulls' injury sheet. Zach Collins, Jaden Ivey and Noah Esengue are out of action, while a pair of their two-way players are on assignment with the G League Windy City.
