Another game for the Cleveland Cavaliers and another conversation about who will and won’t be playing. The Wine and Gold will take on the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday afternoon as the second game of a back-to-back. Cleveland looks to build some consistency while being down a star player.

Here’s who will be out and will be available for the Cavaliers.

Donovan Mitchell - OUT

The Cavs will once again be without their All-Star guard. Donovan Mitchell has been ruled OUT against the Los Angeles Clippers.  

This isn’t because of a new injury, rather Mitchell’s absence is part of his management of his knee injury that sidelined him for a majority of the second half of the season. Mitchell did not play against the Utah Jazz last week as it was the first game of a back-to-back and now he’s sitting out the second half of one as he hopes to be healthy for the postseason.

Isaac Okoro - AVAILALE

Cleveland’s defense has struggled a lot over the last few weeks. One of the reasons for this has been the absence of their top defender Isaac Okoro. Thankfully, the Cavs will be getting a boost in this department.

Okoro has officially been ruled AVAILABLE Against the Clippers.

Not only is Ice important on the defensive end of the floor but he’s also elevated his offensive game this season too. Okoro is averaging 48 percent from the floor 6.6 shot attempts a game and 38 percent (career-high).

It’ll be great to see him back on the floor.
