As the Cleveland Cavaliers have struggled a bit this season, questions have risen about the team. Might Jarrett Allen be considered movable?

The Cavs’ 120-109 win in their NBA Cup, East Group A matchup back on November 21 seems like a lifetime ago as both sides have switched places in terms of current form. Following their last game, Cleveland moved to 11-6, while Indiana dropped to 2-14.

Start time: The Indiana Pacers-Cleveland Cavaliers game is at 7 p.m. ET Friday, Nov. 21, 2025, at Rocket Arena in Cleveland. Johnny Furphy (foot), Quenton Jackson (hamstring), Aaron Nesmith (knee), Obi Toppin (hamstring), Kam Jones (back) and Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) are out.

Today, it was reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania that Cleveland will have to figure things out without their starting big man for a solid stretch. Cavaliers star Evan Mobley is expected to miss 2 to 4 weeks with a left calf strain.

Donovan Mitchell scored 43 points and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Indiana Pacers on Dec. 1 in Indianapolis to end a three-game losing streak.

Mitchell is Cleveland’s best scorer and main source of offense. He puts up just over 30 points per game through 16 contests, and leads the Cavs in three stat categories – points, assists, and steals. As Darius Garland rehabs a toe injury, Mitchell shoulders the playmaking load for the Cavaliers.

Donovan Mitchell erupted for 43 points on an efficient 16 of 27 shooting, and added nine rebounds and six assists as the Cleveland Cavaliers rolled past the Indiana Pacers 135–119 on Monday.

Darius Garland sparks trade buzz as the Cavs struggle to a 14-11 start, prompting talks of a roster shake-up amid his injury issues.
