Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell out vs. Bulls due to ankle sprain

CLEVELAND -- Donovan Mitchell will sit out the Cleveland Cavaliers' game against the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night after the All-Star guard sprained his left ankle during the second half of Sunday's game against Sacramento.

Mitchell stepped on the foot of Sacramento's Keon Ellis near midcourt before losing his balance and rolling his left ankle. The 6-foot-3 guard was writhing in pain while being tended to by trainers before limping to the locker room.

Mitchell eventually returned after sitting out nearly seven minutes of game action. He played the final 15:02 of the Cavaliers' 120-113 loss.
