Cleveland Cavaliers star guard Donovan Mitchell has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the host Indiana Pacers due to rest.

Mitchell, 29, boasts team-best averages in points (29.8), assists (5.4) and steals (1.5) in 34 games this season.

Tuesday's game will be the fourth that the six-time All-Star has missed this season.

Starters Jarrett Allen (illness) and Dean Wade (knee soreness) are both listed as probable for Tuesday's game for the Cavaliers, who have defeated the Pacers on two occasions already this season.
