Donovan Mitchell among Cavs ruled out for Game 5 vs. Celtics

BOSTON -- The Cleveland Cavaliers will be without three of their top six players -- led by star guard Donovan Mitchell -- for Game 5 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night.

Mitchell, who is dealing with a left calf strain, Jarrett Allen, who is dealing with a bruised rib, and Caris LeVert, who replaced Mitchell in the starting lineup for Game 4 before being added to the injury report Tuesday with a bone bruise in his left knee, will all sit out what could be Cleveland's final game of the season.
