Scores 10 points in loss Mitchell contributed 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes during Monday's 131-115 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Mitchell logged the most minutes among Sacramento's reserves, but he put forth a relatively muted effort in the loss. That has been the norm for the rookie of late -- he came into the contest averaging 22.8 minutes but just 7.3 points and 2.3 assists over his past four contests. Mitchell has shown some flashes of excellence this season, but he's not playing well enough right now to warrant a roster spot in most fantasy leagues.

Quiet performance in return Mitchell finished with seven points (3-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Thursday's 128-110 loss to the Nuggets.
Impact Mitchell missed Sacramento's previous contest with a sore right hand, but the All-Star break provided enough time for him to recover. However, the rookie struggled with his shot against Denver, missing all four of his three-point attempts and going 3-for-10 from the field overall. Mitchell did see 30 minutes off the bench, which is a positive sign for his playing time moving forward. He averaged 26.0 minutes over 54 games prior to the break.

Not listed on injury report Mitchell (hand) is no longer listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Nuggets.
Impact Mitchell went through a full practice Tuesday and Wednesday, so the writing was on the wall, but his removal from the report officially signals his return from the hand injury that kept him out of the Kings' final game before the break. While he may continue to come off the bench behind Justin Holiday and De'Aaron Fox, Mitchell figures to continue to play a key role for the Kings down the stretch. He'll face some competition for minutes from deadline arrival Donte DiVincenzo, however.

Out Wednesday Mitchell (hand) is out Wednesday against the Bulls, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact The rookie is missing his first game since Dec. 28, and we won't see him again until after the All-Star break. His absence could open up minutes for Donte DiVincenzo, Josh Jackson and other guards.

Questionable Wednesday Mitchell is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to right hand soreness.
Impact Mitchell has come off the bench in each of the last three games but has scored in double figures in two of those appearances. If he's unavailable Wednesday, Donte DiVincenzo and Josh Jackson should see increased run.

Shifts to bench Mitchell will come off the bench Wednesday against the Timberwolves, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Mitchell averaged 17.4 points, 2.0 rebounds and 4.9 assists while starting the past seven games, but he'll move to the bench in favor of Justin Holiday, who is starting in his debut for the Kings. Mitchell should still operate as the top guard off the bench for Sacramento.

Struggles in ugly loss to Wolves Mitchell had eight points (3-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 134-114 loss to Minnesota.
Impact Making his seventh consecutive start in the backcourt, the rookie struggled to get anything going offensively, as he committed five turnovers while hitting only three of his 11 attempts from the field. While De'Aaron Fox returned from an ankle injury, the Kings shipped out Tyrese Haliburton on Tuesday, which should clear the way for Mitchell to start alongside Fox going forward. It's possible, however, that the Kings may not be done making moves ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.

Posts career-best point total Mitchell closed Thursday's 126-114 loss to the Warriors with 26 points (11-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight assists and one steal in 38 minutes.
Impact Mitchell led Sacramento in scoring in the loss and posted the highest point total of his NBA career.

Posts 18 points in relief Mitchell finished Wednesday's 112-101 win over the Nets with 18 points (8-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 35 minutes.
Impact Mitchell was the direct replacement for De'Aaron Fox (ankle) in the lineup, and the talented rookie came through with one of his better performances this season. His 19 shot attempts marked his highest shot volume of the season, and although he failed to get anything going from three-point range, his increased opportunity helped him reach a respectable fantasy total. Mitchell's output should remain high during Fox's absence.
