Oh no! Mitchell responds to injury! The NBA will have a huge upset

The latest NBA playoffs situation. The team that holds the match point in the second round has appeared. So far, the Pacers are 3-1, the Eastern Conference regular season champion Cavaliers, and a super upset is about to be born.

And in G4, Mitchell, who was extremely dependent on the Cavaliers, also suffered an injury and ended up playing only in the first half to score 12 points.

Pacers' team data are as follows:

According to Cavaliers reporter Sands, Mitchell not only suffered from a calf strain, but also faced the trouble of a left ankle injury. When asked about injury after the game? Mitchell said: "I will be fine, see you on Tuesday (Wednesday)."

According to Cavaliers coach Atkinson, the star will undergo an MRI examination on the left ankle.

To put it bluntly, Mitchell may have finished the last game of the season. Even if he forced himself to play with injuries or the remaining series, he will not be able to pull back the Cavaliers who are already on the edge of the cliff. Instead, it may aggravate the injury and affect his later career. In short, the gain is not worth the loss.

Mitchell was so tired in this round of the series with the Pacers. He had to shoot 30, 30 and 29 respectively in the first three games, and took on a lot of offensive tasks until he exceeded his physical load and was crushed. Therefore, the above sudden no-confrontation injury occurred.

Since this year's playoffs, Mitchell averaged 31.4 minutes per game, scoring 28.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.6 interruptions, with 46.2%, 33.8% and 75% shooting percentages in three events. He can match the Knicks backcourt core Brunson, who is also shining in the defender position (averages 29.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game).

It is worth mentioning that if the Cavaliers are really eliminated by the Pacers, they will be suspended in the second round of the playoffs for two consecutive years... It seems that there is no difference between Mitchell playing for the Cavaliers or playing in the Jazz, and he will not be able to pass the second round anyway.

The trading market for this summer's offseason may be expected to see Mitchell's arrival. In fact, rumors about him parting ways with the Cavaliers were heard as early as last year. This guy's current contract expired in 28 years, and his salary will reach $46.39 million, $50.11 million and $53.82 million respectively in the next three seasons. What do the
