As such, Mitchell will not play in Monday's game against the 76ers, but he'll be available for Wednesday's contest against the Celtics. He has started in each of the Thunder's last five games, and his absence means more minutes will be available for Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe, Jared McCain and Alex Caruso.
