Jazz star Donovan Mitchell will miss at least one more week as he continues to recover from a sprained ankle, the team announced today (Twitter link). Mitchell was reevaluated by Utah’s medical staff on Saturday — the club said he’s making progress toward a return and will be reevaluated again in a week.
Utah is tied with Phoenix for the NBA’s best record at 45-18, suffering a 21-point loss to the team on Friday night. In addition to missing Mitchell, the Jazz also played without Mike Conley (hamstring) in the game.
Mitchell, 24, is currently enjoying a career-best season. The fourth-year guard is averaging 26.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game, shooting 44% from the floor and 39% from deep.
Utah is 4-3 since Mitchell suffered the injury and has upcoming contests against Toronto on Saturday, plus San Antonio on Monday and Wednesday.
Jazz not the same without him. Yeah that’s an understatement, I know. Jazz 100% can beat anyone. But but can they get thru tough West. Can they do it for three series. I gotta see that. Mitchell out but but !!
Man you gotta give the Suns big props. 45 – 18 best record in NBA. CP3 the HOFer showing us what a Real PG can do for a team. Didn’t look good against Nets. But bounced back nicely. Suns too I believe can beat anyone. But can they win 3 series (3 teams) to go to Finals. I’m going to have to see that. Just having a great yr. To me Monty has CP3. Thibs is COY.
Best record in NBA ???? who had that ??????
