Mitchell injury

It makes some sense but it sucks... If they hold him out a week then he gets 2 weeks rest. I think Mike will come back before the season ends.

I think this really tanks his all-NBA case. No momentum now and missed enough games for voters to drop him below those guys he was neck and neck with. DL slipped the trainer a few bucks to hold him out to be conservative... but really he just cleaning up the cap sheet.
 
I've seen him on the bench and it doesn't look he's got a boot on or hobbling at all. I think the Jazz are hiding something, a smokescreen as someone said.

I think they're just playing conservative with him and Conley and figure a top 2 seed is fine as long as they protect their guys for the playoffs.
 
If DM is missing the rest of the season, then how likely is it he will be miraculously healed for the start of the playoffs?
 
Yikes.

Have there been any teams that have won the championship with their best player missing the last month of the regular season? He’s going to need to get back into playing shape (if he even comes back) and the playoffs seem ill suited for that.

On 97.5 they were saying that the doctor/trainer or whomever said his progress was going great but just not yet.
 
It's just a sprained ankle, but sprained ankle's are easily reagrivatiable if you dont rest them. The Jazz are just being precautious. The Jazz can warm up in the 1st round and still win. It might result in a longer series, but Conley/Mitchell can play into shape against the Warriors/Grizz/Spurs/Etc
