Mitchell won't start Saturday's game against the Hornets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Luguentz Dort (shoulder) returning from a five-game absence, Mitchell will retreat to the second unit. Over his last five appearances off the bench, the second-year guard has averaged 14.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals in 26.2 minutes per contest.

Mitchell logged 14 points (6-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three steals in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 121-92 win over the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Making his fifth straight start, Mitchell nabbed at least three steals for the third time during that stretch, and the fourth time overall in 13 games. The second-year guard has scored in double-digits in all but one contest as he surges toward a breakout campaign, averaging 16.9 points, 3.8 boards, 3.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.3 threes in 28.1 minutes a game.

Mitchell chipped in 17 points (6-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 126-102 victory over the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

The second-year guard has scored at least 17 points in each of his four starts this season, and he is enjoying a breakout season in the first few weeks of the 2025-26 campaign. Mitchell is likely to remain in the starting five if Luguentz Dort (shoulder) remains sidelined, but fantasy managers should feel confident in his chances to keep producing even if he returns to the bench. Mitchell is averaging 16.1 points per game when playing with the second unit this season.

Mitchell accumulated 21 points (8-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and three steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 114-100 win over Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell continues to enjoy a breakout season and posted another loaded stat line as a starter. Due to injuries, he's been in the first unit in each of the Thunder's last three games and has scored at least 18 points each time. Furthermore, Mitchell has surpassed the 15-point mark eight times already after doing so just twice in the 2024-25 campaign. The second-year guard is averaging a robust line of 17.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.8 steals across 28.0 minutes per game in his first 10 games this season.

Mitchell chipped in 18 points (5-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists, one block and three steals in 31 minutes during Friday's 132-101 victory over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell made his second start of the season with Luguentz Dort (shoulder) still sidelined, but Mitchell did the most damage once Shai Gilgeous-Alexander took a seat in the lopsided victory. He scored 12 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter, extending the lead during a decisive win for the Thunder.

Mitchell closed with 21 points (7-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 121-119 loss to Portland.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell earned a spot with the first unit amid Luguentz Dort's (shoulder) recent injury, and he made the most of the opportunity with his second-highest point total of the season. Wednesday marked Mitchell's first start of the season, but he's also posted impressive totals coming off the bench for the Thunder. Through nine games, Mitchell has averaged 16.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.6 steals. He's also converting shots at a rate of 45.8 percent.

Mitchell will be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell gets the nod as a starter along with Aaron Wiggins, with Luguentz Dort (shoulder) and Chet Holmgren (back) on the mend. Mitchell and Wiggins will be joined by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Cason Wallace and Isaiah Hartenstein in the first five.

Mitchell (lower body) will be available to play Tuesday against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell should be good to go for his usual minutes Tuesday evening, and he'll look to bounce back from a tough, 2-8 shooting performance. The second-year guard is hitting career-highs across the board this season while earning 27.6 minutes a night.

Mitchell (lower body) participated in Tuesday's morning shootaround, Justin reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell, who is listed as questionable, will likely test out his injury in pregame warmups before a decision is made on his status. He's been terrific to open the season with 17.3 points, 3.7 assists and 3.6 rebounds per contest.

Mitchell is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers due to a bilateral gluteal contusion.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell evidently picked up the injury at some point during Sunday's game against the Pelicans. The team will presumably monitor him closely leading up to tipoff before providing another update on his availability.
