DAVION MITCHELL NEWS

Scores eight in loss Mitchell posted eight points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and one steal in 15 minutes during Sunday's 112-99 preseason loss to the Raptors.

Impact Mitchell came off the bench during Sunday's matchup but was still relatively efficient from the floor and managed to contribute in multiple areas. His production took a step back during the 2022-23 campaign, as he averaged 5.6 points, 2.3 assists and 1.3 rebounds in 18.1 minutes per game over 80 appearances.

Scores 14 points off bench Mitchell ended with 14 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Monday's 114-106 victory over the Warriors in Game 2 of...

Impact Mitchell and Malik Monk were stellar contributors off the bench during the Kings' Game 2 victory. However, unlike Monk, Mitchell's production was surprising after he totaled just three points and four assists in Game 1. Mitchell figures to continue operating as the primary backup point guard, but his playoff production may be sporadic, as he isn't a focal point of Sacramento's offense.

Absent from injury report Mitchell (knee) is not listed on the Kings' injury report ahead of Saturday's Game 1 matchup with the Warriors.

Impact Mitchell missed the Kings' regular-season finale due to left knee soreness, but it looks like he is good to go for their first playoff game. Barring any setbacks, he will be available to provide depth at point guard behind De-Aaron Fox.

APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Sunday Mitchell (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Mitchell was listed as questionable with left knee soreness, and the Kings have decided to avoid any potential risks and ruled him out. His absence will probably mean Keon Ellis and Terence Davis would be in line for extra minutes off the bench.

Questionable Friday Mitchell is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors due to left knee soreness.

Impact De'Aaron Fox (ankle) joins Mitchell on the injury report with the questionable tag, in addition to six other Kings, so Sacramento's backcourt might be very thin Friday evening. If both Fox and Mitchell are out, Terence Davis would likely get the spot start and all the run he could handle, making him an intriguing streamer option. Stay tuned.

Dishes six dimes in start Mitchell accumulated 11 points (5-11 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists and four steals across 29 minutes during Saturday's 121-113 win over the Jazz.

Impact Mitchell got the start Saturday in place of De'Aaron Fox, who missed the contest due to a hamstring injury. Mitchell couldn't match Fox's typical level of production, but he did fine with 11 points and six assists while racking up four steals. Fox's injury isn't thought to be serious, so Mitchell will likely return to a bench role soon.

MARCH 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting for injured Fox Mitchell will start Saturday's game against the Jazz, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Impact With the Kings sitting De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) out of an abundance of caution, Mitchell will get the nod at point guard. In seven starts this season, he's averaged 9.6 points, 3.6 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 29.0 minutes.

MARCH 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Slides back to bench Mitchell will return to the second unit for Thursday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Mitchell saw a spot start his last time out with De'Aaron Fox sidelined due to a hamstring issue but will rejoin the reserves with Fox back in action. In his last four games off the bench, Mitchell has averaged 4.0 points and 2.3 assists across 13.5 minutes.

MARCH 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Supplies passable line as starter Mitchell provided 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt), six assists, one rebound and one steal across 32 minutes in Monday's 123-108 win over the Pelicans.

Impact While appearing on the top unit for the second time in four games in place of De'Aaron Fox (hamstring), Mitchell didn't supply an eye-popping line, but his efficient shooting made his overall output better than what he had provided in most of his previous six starts this season. Fox is expected to be back in action for the Kings' next game Thursday versus the Knicks, putting Mitchell in line to move back to the bench while seeing a steep reduction in playing time.

MARCH 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Monday Mitchell will enter the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Pelicans with De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) unavailable, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Over six starts this season, Mitchell has compiled averages of 8.7 points, 2.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.3 triples and 1.3 turnovers per contest on 46.7 percent shooting. He will draw a favorable matchup against New Orleans, but he's still more of a deep league option.

Plays well in start Mitchell finished with 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), one rebound, four assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 123-117 victory over the Thunder.

Impact Mitchell was moderately productive Tuesday, sliding into the starting lineup with De'Aaron Fox ruled out due to a wrist injury. Although his numbers won't set the world on fire, this was actually one of Mitchell's best games of the season. Despite having started a handful of games thus far, he typically struggles to have any sort of tangible impact. Until Fox returns to action, Mitchell is at least worth a look in slightly deeper formats.

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets starting nod Mitchell is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Thunder, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Mitchell will replace De'Aaron Fox (wrist) in the starting lineup Tuesday. The second-year guard is averaging 7.4 points, 3.0 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 27.6 minutes across his previous five starts this season.

Two points in 14 minutes Mitchell amassed two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two assists across 14 minutes during Sunday's 124-115 win over the Thunder.

Impact Mitchell didn't add much in his time on the floor Sunday night. He may still see double-digit minutes each game, but the young guard really only provides enough fantasy value as a streaming option when the team becomes shorthanded, allowing him to get that added usage. In the meantime, he doesn't need to be rostered in almost any league.

FEBRUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Mitchell will return to the second unit for Monday's game against the Rockets, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact De'Aaron Fox (personal) is back after a two-game absence, which will prompt Mitchell's return to the second unit, and his value will take a significant hit. The Sacramento starting five will be comprised of Fox, Kevin Huerter, Harrison Barnes, Keegan Murray and Domantas Sabonis on Monday.

Drops dud in spot start Mitchell totaled three points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 22 minutes during Friday's 107-104 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Mitchell moved into the starting lineup Friday, taking over for De'Aaron Fox, who was out due to personal reasons. While seen as a potential stream candidate, Mitchell came up empty, continuing a trend of poor production when starting. At this point, he simply isn't an impactful player. Even managers in deeper formats may be better off looking for upside when scouring the waiver wire.

FEBRUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will start Friday Mitchell will draw the start Friday against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Mitchell was the logical candidate to get the starting nod once it was announced De'Aaron Fox would sit out Friday's tilt, and Kings head coach Mike Brown confirmed has confirmed that will be the case. Mitchell has averaged 8.0 points, 4.0 assists and 2.7 rebounds over 29.0 minutes in his three previous starts this season.

FEBRUARY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Muted role continues in loss Mitchell finished with four points (2-3 FG), three rebounds, five assists and one steal in 18 minutes during Saturday's 117-110 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Mitchell played fewer than 20 minutes for the 10th time in his past 11 games, serving up a giant plate of nothing. For a player known as an elite defensive stopper, Mitchell has been unable to translate that into tangible fantasy production. He is currently averaging just 0.5 steals per game for the season, a number that certainly won't get it done when it comes to fantasy value.

Provides lift off bench Mitchell supplied 19 points (7-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one steal in 20 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 132-119 win over the Spurs.

Impact Mitchell's 19 points gave him his second-best total of the season and exceeded his scoring production from the previous four games combined. With the Kings having enjoyed better health than any team this season, Mitchell has rarely had the opportunity to seize hold of major minutes for an extended period of time, and he'll likely remain stuck in a limited bench role so long as all of De'Aaron Fox, Kevin Huerter and Malik Monk steer clear of long absences.
