Mitchell didn't get out of first gear as the Cavaliers easily accounted for the Heat, wrapping up their first-round series. This was little more than a training run for the starters, with no player exceeding 25 minutes. Cleveland will now face the winner of the Pacers and Bucks series, which Indiana currently leads 3-1.

Mitchell is nursing a left ankle sprain, and given that the Cavaliers need him at his best for the playoffs, there's no point in the team risking him in the final days of the regular season.

Rotowire
Mitchell won't play Tuesday against the Bulls due to a left ankle sprain.
Mitchell sustained the injury during Sunday's 120-113 win over the Kings, though he was able to check back into the game following a brief exit. The severity of the sprain isn't known, but even if it's just a minor concern, the Cavaliers won't take any chances with the star guard Tuesday while the team needs just one win over its final four games of the regular season to clinch the Eastern Conference's No. 1 seed. His absence Tuesday could lead to elevated usage for Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen and increased playing time for Ty Jerome, Sam Merrill and Craig Porter.
