Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, according to multiple reports.
Mitchell will miss his third consecutive game with a groin injury, while Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will be out for the fifth straight game with a hurt knee.
Cavs forward Dean Wade, however, was listed as probable ahead of Saturday night's game (7:30 p.m. tip-off). Wade, who has missed over a month since sustaining a shoulder injury on Dec. 2, has averaged 6.1 points and 4.1 rebounds over 17 games played this season.
Also available for Cleveland will be guard Ricky Rubio, who missed Friday night's 120-114 Cavs loss to the Golden State Warriors with a hurt left knee.
As for Antetokounmpo, he will join teammates Khris Middleton on the Bucks' inactives list. Middleton, who has only played in seven games this season for Milwaukee, had been ruled out on Friday with a knee injury.
The Cavs (28-19) will now face a noticeably depleted opponent for the second consecutive night, but that does not guarantee a victory, as the Warriors won in Cleveland on Friday without starters Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, among others.
