Mitchell injury

[LogGrad98]

Bummer. Will he not get All NBA do to missed? Wouldn't it cost him 30 million on his contract? I feel bad.

So he'll get like 130 million instead of 160 million. Or is it 150 instead of 180? Not sure why but I'm finding it hard to muster many tears.

And it will also help the Jazz cap situation.
If you see players constantly not being named to All NBA teams, All Star, etc because they play for a small-market Jazz, that's a problem, but if they miss it due to injuries, well...

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.

Pretty much all the Jazz beat writers agree (Jones, Walden and the other guy whose name I can't remember - the 40 year old virgin) that if the playoffs started today Mitchell would be playing.

Mike too.

Have there been any teams that have won the championship with their best player missing the last month of the regular season?

Gobert has been pretty active.

Good point.

* Best scorer

If we end up playing Memphis or GS in the first round, this approach to being extra cautious with Mike and Donovan is probably a good call. If we have to play the Lakers in round 1, and need to be geared up playing 100%, it might end up biting us.

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.

Gobert is our best player. We be fine.

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?

Nearly 100%

I am pretty sure Mitchell and Conley are getting training reps. It's not like they are coming back from significant injuries that prevent them from activity. They will be fine. These guys play 80 games a season, they will not be rusty because they rested for 10-15 games.

I guarantee you he’s fully healed. The jazz are just being cautious. The jazz also have extra time to integrate him back to game speed during the play in tournament through practice. He’ll still be a bit rusty but I think after the first game or so he’ll be fine.

So, what's the latest? Is he going to play in the first round?
