Donovan Mitchell, Caris LeVert Final Injury Status For Cavaliers Vs. Knicks

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. New York Knicks injury report.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have found themselves in quite a predicament as the team faces a number of injuries just a handful of games into the season. 

Fans learned on Monday that Darius Garland, Jarrett Allen, and Ty Jerome would be out for their highly-anticipated matchup against the New York Knicks. However, these weren't the only players with questions surrounding their availability.

Donovan Mitchell - AVAILABLE

Donovan Mitchell is arguably the most important player on the Cavs and their ceiling reflects how good he'll be. 

The shooting guard is currently dealing with a right hamstring injury that sidelined him for Saturday night's game against the Indiana Pacers.

Spida will thankfully be available for Tuesday night's game.

Mitchell is averaging 35.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists through the first two games he's played this season. 

Caris LeVert - OUT

Cleveland turned to Caris LeVert to be their leading scorer as the rest of their guards looked to get healthy. 

But just like that, LeVert became questionable with an injury of his own. He is also battling a hamstring injury that had made him questionable leading up to the Knicks game.

We now know that LeVert will be out for Cleveland's game against New York.

The Cavaliers need to hope that they get their team healthy as soon as possible. One of their strengths this season was supposed to be their depth, however, they're searching for able bodies to have a full rotation.

This isn't a situation any team wants to be in less than a week into the season.
