Mitchell, Jazz At Odds Over Injury By Anthony Riccobono on May 25 2021 6:18 AM Donovan Mitchell #45 of the Utah Jazz and Rudy Gobert #27 talk against the New Orleans Pelicans during a game at the Smoothie King Center on January 06, 2020 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Donovan Mitchell didn’t play in the Utah Jazz’s first game of the playoffs because of a sprained right ankle, but the team might have more to worry about than just the guard’s health. Mitchell wanted to play Sunday night against the Memphis Grizzlies, putting the organization and its star at odds. Mitchell was slated to suit up until he was taken out of the lineup by the Jazz, leaving him “incensed,” ESPN reports. The 24-year-old hasn’t played since April 16, and his recovery from the injury has taken longer than expected.
