NEW ORLEANS -- Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell has been activated and placed in the starting lineup for Wednesday night's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Mitchell, averaging a team-high 28 points per game this season, has missed the Cavaliers previous seven games with a left knee bruise.
"His presence gives our guys a ton of confidence," Cleveland coach J.B. Bickerstaff said before tipoff. "They know the gravity that he carries. What defenses have to do to stop him or slow him down just makes everybody else's job easier.
