Mitchell is questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks with a left shin contusion.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell suffered his contusion during Sunday's game against the 76ers and was unable to return. Although he's day-to-day, the Thunder may opt for caution for the second leg of this back-to-back set.

Mitchell went back to the locker room during Sunday's game against the 76ers due to an apparent ankle issue, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell seemingly tweaked his ankle while breaking up an alley-oop attempt earlier in the game, and the issue will require a trip to the locker room. Considering the Thunder are up 25 points midway through the fourth quarter, it's unlikely he'll return to the contest.

Mitchell (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Spurs, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell will miss a second consecutive game while in the league's concussion protocol, which he'll look to clear in time to return for Sunday's game against the 76ers. Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe and Alex Caruso will continue to see more minutes off the bench in Mitchell's absence.

Mitchell (concussion) will not play Tuesday against the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
After leaving Monday's game early, Mitchell has since been diagnosed with a concussion. That makes it unlikely that he'll be cleared in time for Christmas Day against the Spurs. Alex Caruso, Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace could see more reps in Mitchell's absence.

Mitchell (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear why Mitchell left for the locker room, though he checked out with 6:29 remaining in the final quarter. If he's unable to return in the final minutes, he'll finish with 16 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals in 22 minutes.

Mitchell ended with 16 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals in 29 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 122-101 win over the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Nine of those points came in the fourth quarter, as Mitchell took advantage of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander getting pulled early in the big win. It was the first time in five games that Mitchell scored in double digits, while the seven boards tied his season high. The second-year guard typically doesn't see that kind of shot volume -- he last attempted double-digit field goals against the Jazz on Nov. 21. Through six games (two starts) to begin December, Mitchell is averaging 10.0 points, 3.7 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.2 threes in 26.0 minutes a contest despite shooting 50.0 percent from the floor and 46.7 percent (7-for-15) from long distance.

Mitchell supplied nine points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 138-89 win over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell continues to see his role reduce, logging fewer than 20 minutes for just the third time this season. While it was a red-hot start for Mitchell, his production has plateaued of late, as Oklahoma City starts to get healthy bodies back on the floor. In three games over the past week, Mitchell has averaged 8.3 points, 3.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 23.4 minutes. It's hard to make a case for him being a must-roster player based on what we have seen during that span.
