Mitchell's Groin Strain Not Long-Term, Day-to-Day for Sunday

Donovan Mitchell (right groin strain) will miss his second consecutive game Friday against the Pistons. Head coach Kenny Atkinson confirmed the injury is not considered long-term, with Mitchell expected to be day-to-day ahead of Sunday's game against the Nets. The Cavaliers will not rush his return, and a four-day break next week could facilitate his recovery. Sam Merrill, Jaylon Tyson, and Craig Porter are anticipated to see increased minutes in his absence.
