Cavaliers Make Troubling Donovan Mitchell Announcement After Injury in Game 4

Yahoo12-05-2025
The Cleveland Cavaliers have had to battle through multiple injuries throughout their NBA playoff run. In their second-round series against the Indiana Pacers, key players such as Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and De'Andre Hunter have already missed multiple games.
At this point, however, the Cavs appear to be facing their biggest injury dilemma yet, following an unfortunate turn of events in Game 4 on Sunday.

Donovan Mitchell was not able to finish the first half after suffering a concerning injury. He did not come out with the team following the halftime break, which added more concern to his status.
Unfortunately, the Cavs have now announced that Mitchell will not be able to return to the contest after being diagnosed with a left ankle injury.
Mitchell finished the game with 12 points on 3-of-11 shooting, one rebound, one steal and a block in 20 minutes of action.
This is an undeniably tough blow for the Cavs, who could now be without their best player moving forward. Mitchell will surely undergo tests after this game, and the results of the same should determine his availability for Game 5 on Tuesday.

The Pacers are well on their way to securing a win in Game 4 to take a commanding 3-1 series lead. As of writing, the Pacers are up 129-104 with a few minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.

The silver lining for the Cavs here is that Game 5 shifts to Cleveland, which will give them a home-court advantage in the game. Nevertheless, not having Mitchell available for that one will be a huge blow for the Cavs and their title aspirations this season.

OKC Thunder unveil 2025-26 City Edition uniform and alternate court

Back by popular demand, fair to say the Oklahoma City Thunder have nailed their 2025-26 City Edition uniforms and alternate court. The NBA and Nike themed this upcoming season with a throwback design of previous fan-favorite jerseys over the years. For the Thunder, they went back to their 2018-19 City Edition uniform, which honored the state's Native American heritage. Russell Westbrook and Paul George wore the uniform that was quickly beloved by OKC fans. Now, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren will do the same with their spin on it, as it has a different shade of blue as its main color. The Thunder will debut the uniform during their annual Native American Heritage Night game on Wednesday, Nov. 19, against the Sacramento Kings. The Thunder also released a 2025-26 City Edition alternate court design. It will be paired with the uniform. Starting on Dec. 5, each Friday home game will be designated as a City Nights game. The full photos and information of both can be viewed below: This article originally appeared on OKC Thunder Wire: OKC Thunder unveil 2025-26 City Edition uniform and alternate court

In anticipation of the NBA 2K26 Sept. 5 release, the annual video game slowly rolled out the top 100 rated players. It's a tradition that sparks conversations as fans across the league argue their guy should be higher. After winning an NBA championship, the Oklahoma City Thunder are prominently featured in the list. They have five players among the top 100. That shouldn't be a surprise. After all, they had one of the greatest seasons ever with a historic 68-14 regular-season record and a Larry O'Brien trophy. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had one of the greatest individual seasons ever seen. He won about every award imaginable. From MVP to NBA Finals MVP. After capturing a championship, the accolades piled on into the summer. One was being the NBA 2K26 cover athlete. Now, we know what his rating will be.
