It should come as no surprise that the Kings have picked up Mitchell's option as they still have another two years of team control. The second-year guard averaged 11.5 points, 4.2 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 0.7 steals in 27.7 minutes over 75 games as a rookie in 2021-22.

Finishes strong with 15 assists Mitchell closed Sunday's 116-109 victory over the Suns with 18 points (5-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, 15 assists and two blocks over 40 minutes.

Impact While the Kings ended the season with both De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis out due to injuries, Fox's absence, in particular, opened the door for Mitchell to play huge minutes down the stretch. The Baylor product still has a ways to go as a shooter, but he's shown he can score and rack up assists in a hurry. Over the final 10 games, Mitchell averaged 10.0 assists per contest, topping out with 17 in a win over the Pelicans on Tuesday.

Impact Mitchell has played effectively in De'Aaron Fox's (hand) absence and has been one of the most prolific rookies in the league as the season draws to a close. Mitchell will likely finish out the season as the starting point guard against the top-seeded Suns in the season finale, although Fox's status mya upgraded before tip-off.

Logs massive 17-assist total Mitchell recorded 15 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and 17 assists over 40 minutes during Tuesday's 123-109 loss to New Orleans.

Impact Mitchell blew out his previous season-high in assists. This comes after coach Alvin Gentry said he was going to reduce Mitchell's minutes to end the season. Despite that claim, Mitchell logged 40 minutes and produced the gigantic assist total in the process.

Pelicans beat Kings 123-109, clinch play-in spot in West

Having workload reduced Mitchell will have his minutes reduced during the final three games of the season, Franklin Cartoscelli of Sports 1140 KHTK reports.

Impact Coach Alvin Gentry adds that he's been playing the rookie too much over the past couple weeks. Since he became a starter March 18, Mitchell has averaged 19.0 points, 7.9 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 40.1 minutes. A reduction in minutes for Mitchell could mean increased minutes for Donte DiVincenzo, Josh Jackson and Jeremy Lamb.

Hands out nine assists Mitchell chipped in nine points (4-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, nine assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Sunday's 109-90 loss to the Warriors.

Impact The game got away from the Kings early on, and while they were able to briefly mount a fourth-quarter comeback, they ultimately came up short of what would've been a third straight win. Mitchell didn't offer a ton as a scorer, but he continues to flash some impressive potential as a distributor. He's now handed out at least seven assists in seven straight games and is averaging 8.7 dimes per contest during that stretch.

Double-double despite shooting woes Mitchell ended with 11 points (3-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes during Friday's 122-117 victory over Houston.

Impact Mitchell might have recorded his first double-double of the season while posting a career-high mark in assists, but he struggled badly from the floor and ended up with more field goal attempts (13) than points scored (11). The rookie out of Baylor has settled in well as a starter with De'Aaron Fox (hand) sidelined, as he has averaged 20.4 points and 7.7 assists per game since jumping into the starting lineup seven games ago.

Comes close to double-double Mitchell provided 24 points (11-22 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 121-118 victory over the Rockets.

Impact Mitchell ended just two dimes away from posting a double-double, but there's no question he was one of the Kings' best players in this tight win. The point guard has embraced a bigger role following the trade of Tyrese Haliburton and De'Aaron Fox's hand injury, which should translate into a bigger upside than in regular conditions. For what it's worth, he's started the last six games and has reached the 20-point mark in each of the last five.

Impact Mitchell finished with at least 20 points, nine assists, one steal and one block for a second consecutive contest. The rookie has drawn five straight starts with De'Aaron Fox (hand) sidelined, and during that stretch, he's averaged 21.6 points, 7.2 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 41.0 minutes per game. As long as Fox remains out, Mitchell figures to continue putting up strong numbers during a critical point of the fantasy season.
