Cleveland Cavaliers star guard Donovan Mitchell will miss Game 5 of an Eastern Conference semifinal series on Thursday with the Boston Celtics due to a left calf strain.

Mitchell also missed Game 4 on Monday, which the Cavaliers lost, 109-102. Cleveland trails 3-1 in the best-of-seven series.

Mitchell averaged 29.6 points per game over Cleveland’s first 10 playoff games after contributing 26.6 per contest in the regular season. The five-time All-Star is also averaging 5.4 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game this postseason.

The Cavaliers will also be without Jarrett Allen (ribs) and Caris LeVert (knee) on Wednesday. Kristaps Porzingis (calf) won’t play for Boston.

Allen and Porzingis have both been out for the entire series. LeVert logged a 19-point performance on Monday.
