James Harden, Donovan Mitchell injury status for Cavs vs

When it comes to the question of whether James Harden and Donovan Mitchell game tonight in a Cavs vs. Bucks matchup, the answer may be Brad, not Speed.
Cleveland announced this afternoon that Harden suffered a non-displaced fracture of the distal phalanx of his right hand on Tuesday night against the New York Knicks. Luckily for him and the team, it’s his thumb that doesn’t pop. He appears to be planning to play through the injury, which could keep him out of Milwaukee, depending on whether the Cavs want him to play soon.
Mitchell is listed as out with a right groin strain, while Mobley is also out to manage his left calf. With the Detroit Pistons ahead on the road on Friday and the Cavs coming off five games in seven nights, it’s not surprising that both are out in this matchup.
I am recovering from surgery on my left foot, Max Struss has yet to make his season debutbut Kenny Atkinson provided an encouraging update on his status moving forward.
The Bucks will be without Giannis Antetokounmpo for the 13th straight game due to a calf injury.
