Thus, the absence of Mitchell from Tinara Westbrook’s Valentine’s Day update caused a stir among the fans. However, there has been no confirmation if the couple has decided to part ways.

Can Mitchell lead the Cavs to the playoffs this season?

The last time the Cavs made it to the playoffs was in 2017-18 when LeBron James led the team to their fourth consecutive finals appearance. However, since the four-time NBA champ’s exit, the Cavaliers have failed to make it to the playoffs in the last four seasons.

Last year, the young guns of Cleveland put on some promising performances as they finished ninth in the Eastern Conference with a 44-38 record. However, they lacked the firepower to make it to the playoffs. With Mitchell’s addition to the team, the Cavs have performed much better this season. They currently stand fourth in the East with a 38-23 record. Thus, Donovan Mitchell could be the factor that could help the Cavs end their playoffs drought this season.
