Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell is questionable for Game 5 against the Indiana Pacers.

An MRI revealed that Mitchell aggravated a previous injury to his left ankle, according to sources.

Mitchell will miss Game 5, after sitting out the second half of Game 4, where the Cavaliers lost 129-109.

During the halftime warm-up, Mitchell felt discomfort in his left ankle and stopped a shot attempt. He returned to the locker room before the third quarter and did not return to the court.

Game 5 of the best-of-7 series will be played on Tuesday night.

In the first half of Game 4, Mitchell scored 12 points on 3-of-11 shooting (1-of-5 from three) in 20 minutes. Before Sunday, he had put up two straight 40-point games, the first Cavs player to do so since LeBron James in consecutive playoff games.
