Mitchell totaled 17 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Sunday's 123-115 win over Portland.
EDGE Analysis
Another game, another instance where Mitchell shows his worth as a versatile combo guard who can make an impact on both ends of the court. Mitchell was limited to five minutes Friday against the Suns due to a left knee contusion, but that injury didn't bother him at all Sunday. Excluding that early exit against the Suns, Mitchell has scored in double digits in all but one game this season while coming off the bench in all but five games. He's averaging 15.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.

Mitchell has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday's game against the Suns due to a left knee contusion, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell's night will be cut short due to a bruised knee. He'll finish the contest scoreless (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) with one assist across five minutes. His early departure snaps a streak of 11 consecutive games scoring in double figures. While Mitchell is sidelined, look for Alex Caruso and Isaiah Joe to pick up additional minutes. Mitchell's next chance to play will come Sunday in Portland.
