UPDATE: Donovan Mitchell has been ruled out (h/t Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com).  

On Friday evening, the Cleveland Cavaliers will be in Pennsylvania to face off against the Philadelphia 76ers.   

For the game, the Cavs could remain without their best player, as All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell is on the injury report.

Mitchell also missed the team's last game, so this would be his second straight out of the lineup (if he doesn't play). 

Via Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com: "Here in Philadelphia, ahead of #Cavs second game in as many nights, and Donovan Mitchell (illness) is once again listed as QUESTIONABLE."

Mitchell has played in 44 games and is averaging 28.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.9 steals per contest while shooting 47.3% from the field and 36.1% from the three-point range.  

The Cavs are among the best teams in the league and are the second seed in the Eastern Conference with a 36-18 record in 54 games. 

They are 8-2 over their last ten games but most recently lost to the Orlando Magic by a score of 116-109. 

Following the 76ers, the Cavs will visit Jordan Poole and the Washington Wizards on Sunday evening. 

As for the 76ers, they are the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 32-23 record in 55 games. 

They are in the middle of a two-game losing streak and are 3-7 over their last ten games.
