Mitchell underwent a procedure on his turf toe sprain on his right foot and will be re-evaluated in 10 to 12 weeks, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Thunder will need to pivot, as Mitchell will miss considerable time as he recovers from a procedure on his injured toe. Oklahoma City could give Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins more time on the floor in Mitchell's absence.

Mitchell (toe) will not play in Friday's game against the Knicks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell is slated to miss his third consecutive game due to injury, and prior to his first absence Jan. 5, he had not missed time at all this season. Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins will likely see more playing time again as a result.

Mitchell (toe) is out for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell will be sidelined for a second straight game after suffering a toe injury in Friday's win over the Knicks. His next opportunity to return comes Friday in New York. In Mitchell's absence, the Thunder could give Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins some more playing time, but Oklahoma City's rotation may not be affected very much.

Mitchell (toe) will not play Sunday against Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell exited at the 1:30 mark in the third quarter of Friday's game and did not return, and he was later diagnosed with a toe sprain. It's not a good sign that he's being ruled out a day in advance, so he should be considered questionable at best for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Head coach Mark Daigneault said that Mitchell sprained his toe during the second half of the Thunder's 117-107 win over the Knicks, Nick Gallo of the Thunder's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell checked out at the 1:30 mark in the third quarter of Friday's game and did not return, finishing with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-2 FT) and one rebound across 13 minutes. The rookie second-round pick will have his toe injury evaluated Saturday morning, but it puts him in jeopardy of being sidelined for Sunday's game against the Celtics. Mitchell's absence would likely mean more minutes for Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins.

Mitchell ended Sunday's 130-106 win over the Grizzlies with 17 points (6-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal in 22 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Despite moving back to the bench with Cason Wallace (quadriceps) and Luguentz Dort (ankle) back in the lineup, Mitchell responded with a season-high 17 points, though he was aided by some garbage time in the lopsided win. Mitchell is hard to trust outside of very deep formats when the Thunder are at full strength.

Mitchell is not in the Thunder's starting lineup against the Grizzlies on Sunday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell made his first start of the regular season during Saturday's 106-94 win over the Hornets, and he finished with 10 points, five rebounds and four assists over 32 minutes. He will revert to a reserve role Sunday due to the return of Cason Wallace (quadriceps) and Luguentz Dort (ankle).

Mitchell is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
The Thunder will be missing two key contributors in Cason Wallace (quadriceps) and Luguentz Dort (ankle), so Mitchell will move into a starting role on the wing. He'll start alongside Shai-Gilgeous Alexander, Aaron Wiggins, Jalen Williams and Isaiah Hartenstein. This will be Mitchell's first start of the campaign. He's averaging 6.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game across 14.1 minutes per game off the bench in December.

Mitchell ended Monday's 123-105 victory over the Wizards with 16 points (6-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 22 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell posted career-high marks in points (16) and rebounds (12), taking advantage of some garbage time during the win. Fantasy managers won't want to overreact to this outlier, as Mitchell has averaged just 13.9 minutes through 10 December contests.
