Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell was an image of misery when he talked to reporters after losing to the Indiana Pacers in Game 5 of their second-round series, 114-105, on Tuesday. The top-seeded Cavaliers got eliminated by the fourth-seeded Pacers, ending what had been their best campaign in recent years.

Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Donovan Mitchell's injury status is revealed after his early exit from Game 4.

Over and over, Mitchell drove to the rim. He was knocked down, drew fouls, then went to the free throw line. He scored the hard way because his jump shot was a mess. He desperately tried to carry the team, especially with backcourt mate Darius Garland dealing with a toe injury.

Donovan Mitchell took the blame for the Cavs' second-round loss to the Pacers, saying that's his job. He also delivered a message to teammates.

"Cavs star Donovan Mitchell came back out of locker room and sat on bench one last time after game - and season - ended," he captioned the post. Fans took to the comments section, sad for Mitchell after the photo was shared.
