"Unselfish MVP" — that's how one teammate described the six-time All-Star who fueled Cleveland to the East's best record.

Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell is expected to fully participate in practice this week as the Cavs prepare for the first round of the NBA playoffs.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs after going 64-18 in the regular season. Donovan Mitchell and Co. were first in the NBA in points per game (121.9) and offensive rating (121.7) under first-year head coach Kenny Atkinson.
