Donovan Mitchell Stats

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (ankle) is questionable for Friday's pivotal matchup against the Clippers. Mitchell is back on the injury report because of soreness in his right ankle, an ailment that forced him to miss the team's final 16 regular-season contests. The 24-year-old went 6-for-19 from the field and 4-for-14 from deep during the Game 5 loss on Wednesday, so it's safe to assume that the injury was bothering him more than DFS managers realized. With Mitchell not at full-strength, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Jordan Clarkson could be the primary scoring options in a do-or-die Game 6, especially if Mike Conley (hamstring) is also out.

Utah Jazz guards Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and Mike Conley (hamstring) have been ruled out for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Both players have been sidelined for quite some time and it's uncertain if they will return before the end of the regular season. In the meantime, Joe Ingles and Georges Niang should remain in the starting five. Ingles is the much better fantasy option between the two. Jordan Clarkson and Bojan Bogdanovic will be asked to carry a heavier load on offense.

Utah Jazz point/shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (ankle) has been ruled out for another week of contests, giving him a very slim window to return if he is to play in a regular season game. The team made it clear that Mitchell has been progressing, so there remains optimism that he could return in time for the start of the postseason. With that said, there's very little incentive to rush him back to the court, which may spell the end of his redraft league appeal. Jordan Clarkson has become a must-own season-long commodity in any-sized league with Mitchell sidelined, while Joe Ingles has also skyrocketed in value. Aside from the May 16 outing against the Kings, it appears that Mitchell's next opportunity at suiting up will be Game 1 of the Western Conference first round.

Utah Jazz point/shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (ankle) was evaluated by the team's medical staff Saturday and it was determined that the All-Star will remain sidelined for at least the next week, putting him on the sidelines for the next five contests. Jordan Clarkson stands to continue seeing an elevated offensive role, while Joe Ingles has entered the starting five and averaged 14.3 points and 6.3 assists while shooting 40.3 percent from behind the arc over his last seven games. Mitchell has been in the midst of a career year, with his 26.4 points and 5.2 assists per contest on track for new career highs. He'll have a small window of opportunity to return prior to the close of the regular season, but his upside keeps him in consideration for those season-long managers with an IR spot available.
