Won't play Saturday Mitchell (illness) is out for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Mitchell played through a head illness in Friday's win over the Hawks, but he won't be able to suit up in the second leg of this back-to-back set. His absence could lead to a spot start for rookie first-rounder Kasparas Jakucionis, while Dru Smith could see more minutes off the bench as well. Mitchell will aim to return to the hardwood when the Heat take on the Bucks on Tuesday. Feb. 24.

Unlikely to play Saturday Mitchell (illness) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Mitchell was able to play through a head illness during the Heat's 128-97 win over the Hawks on Friday, when he logged seven points, seven assists, five rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 27 minutes. It appears the illness will prevent Mitchell from playing in the second leg of Miami's back-to-back set Saturday, and his absence will likely result in rookie first-rounder Kasparas Jakucionis being moved into the starting lineup against Memphis.

Dishes out seven assists in win Mitchell recorded seven points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven assists, five rebounds, three blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Friday's 128-97 victory over the Hawks.

Impact Mitchell was a late addition to the injury report Friday but was ultimately cleared to play in the front end of this back-to-back set. After averaging 4.3 assists per game over his previous three outings, the 27-year-old point guard dished out a team-high seven dimes against Atlanta. Additionally, he swatted multiple shots for the first time this season and set a career high in blocks. Mitchell isn't guaranteed to score in double figures on a nightly basis, though he typically offers value through his assist numbers. Aside from his three blocks Friday, the Baylor product hasn't recorded many defensive stats of late, and he has totaled just two steals over his last six appearances.

Starting Friday Mitchell (illness) is in the starting lineup for Friday's game in Atlanta.

Pops up on injury report Mitchell is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks due to an illness.

Impact Given that the Heat and Hawks tip off at 7:30p.m. ET, Mitchell's late addition to the injury report doesn't bode well for his chances of playing in Friday's contest. Rookie first-rounder Kasparas Jakucionis would be the top candidate to enter the Heat's starting lineup if Mitchell is unable to play.

Poor showing in win Mitchell ended Sunday's 132-101 victory over the Wizards with five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 25 minutes.

Impact Mitchell drew another start, but he was outshined by Kasparas Jakucionis -- the rookie had 22 points in 26 minutes off the bench. Mitchell has been trending down for several weeks now, making this a position battle worth monitoring.

Solid production in return Mitchell (shoulder) recorded 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), six assists, two rebounds and two steals across 21 minutes Sunday in the Heat's 134-91 win over the Bulls.

Impact After missing the previous six games while recovering from a left shoulder sprain, Mitchell stepped back into the starting five and came through with an efficient, all-around line in his first appearance since Jan. 20. Though he was limited to just over 20 minutes in his return, Mitchell likely would have played more had the Heat not built a 39-point lead after three quarters. Mitchell and most of the Heat's other key contributors ended up sitting out the entire fourth quarter as a result.

Available Sunday Mitchell (shoulder) is available for Sunday's game against the Bulls.

Impact As expected, Mitchell will shed his probable tag and return from a six-game absence due to a left shoulder sprain. With the 27-year-old point guard back in action, there will be fewer minutes available for guys like Kasparas Jakucionis and Dru Smith. In nine January appearances, Mitchell averaged 7.9 points, 6.6 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 26.2 minutes per game.

Likely to play Sunday Mitchell (shoulder) is probable for Sunday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Mitchell has been sidelined for the past six games due to a left shoulder sprain but is trending toward a return Sunday. The guard is averaging 9.0 points, 7.2 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals through 40 appearances this season, all starts. Mitchell's anticipated return should push at least one of Kasparas Jakucionis or Myron Gardner back to the bench after both drew starts Saturday.

Won't play Saturday Mitchell (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Mitchell will miss a sixth consecutive game due to a left shoulder sprain, and his next chance to suit up is in Sunday's rematch against Chicago, though he doesn't appear to have an established timeline to return. Rookie Kasparas Jakucionis should continue to start for Miami for as long as Mitchell is sidelined.

Doubtful for Saturday Mitchell (shoulder) is doubtful to play Saturday versus the Bulls.

Impact Mitchell is on track to sit out his sixth straight game Saturday, which isn't surprising given that he has yet to get through a full practice with the team. Dru Smith and Kasparas Jakucionis will continue to pick up the slack while Mitchell is out.

Ruled out Thursday Mitchell (shoulder) will not play Thursday against the Bulls.

Ruled out for Wednesday Mitchell (shoulder) won't suit up for Wednesday's game against the Magic.

Impact This will be Mitchell's fourth consecutive game on the inactive list, and considering he still hasn't practiced, that number could hit five for Friday's game in Chicago. Dru Smith, Kasparas Jakucionis and Pelle Larsson will continue to pick up the slack while Mitchell and Tyler Herro (ribs) are out.

Downgraded to doubtful Mitchell is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Orlando with a left shoulder sprain.

Impact Mitchell is set for a four-game absence with the sprain, though he at least seems to be day-to-day. With Tyler Herro (ribs) still sidelined, Dru Smith and Kasparas Jakucionis appear to be in line to split the minutes at point guard for the Heat on Wednesday.

Questionable with shoulder sprain Mitchell is questionable for Wednesday's game against Orlando with a left shoulder sprain.

Impact Mitchell is trying to end a three-game absence with the sprain. With Tyler Herro (ribs) still on the shelf and Norman Powell (back) also iffy for Wednesday, the bulk of the ball-handling responsibilities could fall onto Dru Smith and Kasparas Jakucionis at point guard.

Impact It looks like Mitchell will miss a third consecutive game while recovering from a left shoulder sprain. Kasparas Jakucionis (face) is listed as questionable, so if he and Mitchell are both sidelined, then Dru Smith would be the top candidate to enter Miami's starting lineup.
