Cavaliers All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell participated in shootaround at Cleveland Clinic Courts on Tuesday morning, hours ahead of his team’s crucial Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Indiana Pacers.

Mitchell is listed as questionable with a sprained left ankle for the top-seeded Cavaliers, who trail 3-1 in the best-of-seven series.

“We don’t know anything about Donovan,” Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland said Tuesday, per the Akron Beacon Journal. “It’s a game-time decision at this point, so I’ll see the same time y’all see.”

ESPN reported Monday an MRI showed an aggravation of the injury.

Mitchell did not play in the second half of Sunday’s 129-109 setback in Indianapolis, finishing with 12 points on 3-of-11 shooting and zero assists in 20 minutes. The Cavaliers trailed 80-39 at the break.

Mitchell warmed up for the second half but experienced discomfort in the ankle and was checked out by the training staff. The six-time All-Star went back to the locker room for treatment and did not return to the game.

Mitchell, 28, was coming off back-to-back monster efforts in Game 2 (48 points) and Game 3 (43 points). For the series, he is averaging 34.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.8 steals in four starts.
