The Cleveland Cavaliers are playing their 11th match of the season against the Miami Heat today. However, what was supposed to be a high-octane showdown has left fans worried when they saw Cavs’ star guard, Donovan Mitchell, heading to the locker room. But what exactly happened?

As per reports, Mitchell had to leave the court due to a laceration. A laceration is basically a cut or tear in the skin, usually caused by something sharp or from impact. But for now, there hasn’t been any update on the severity or which part of Mitchell’s body was affected.

Mitchell has been a key offensive engine for the Cavs this season, and any unplanned exit raises immediate concerns for Cleveland. The timing is particularly tricky as the Cavaliers battle the Heat in a tightly contested clash, and his absence can mean a fourth loss for the franchise so far.

This is a developing story.
