Davion Mitchell News, Rumors, Updates - Miami Heat

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.

Unlikely to play Sunday Mitchell (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Suns.

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.

Not playing Saturday Mitchell (shoulder) is out for Saturday's game against the Jazz, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Mitchell will miss a second straight game after not playing in the loss to the Trail Blazers on Thursday, and he's now missed four of Miami's previous six contests. Mitchell has started every game he's played this season, but with his absence, expect rookie Kasparas Jakucionis to slide back into the starting five.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Saturday Mitchell (shoulder) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Mitchell missed Thursday's contest due to a left shoulder sprain and remains iffy for Saturday. The guard has started all 40 of his appearances this season, averaging 9.0 points, 7.2 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals. If Mitchell is unable to suit up, Kasparas Jakucionis is likely to slide back into the starting five.

Downgraded to out Mitchell (shoulder) is out for Thursday's game against Portland.

Impact Mitchell was downgraded to doubtful hours before tipoff, and he's since been ruled out due to bruised left shoulder. Kasparas Jakucionis is a candidate to start in Mitchell's place Thursday.

Now considered doubtful Mitchell (shoulder) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Mitchell was aded to the injury report as questionable earlier in the day, but he's since been downgraded to doubtful. If he's ruled out prior to tipoff, look for Kasparas Jakucionis and Dru Smith to see more chances in the backcourt.

Downgraded to questionable Mitchell is questionable for Thursday's game against Portland with a left shoulder bruise.

Impact The Heat are making Mitchell a late addition to their injury report Thursday. If the point guard is ultimately deemed unable to play, rookie first-rounder Kasparas Jakucionis could draw the spot start at the one while Dru Smith rejoins the Miami rotation and takes on the backup role.

JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Makes defensive impact in return Mitchell (shoulder) provided seven points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block in 25 minutes Monday in the Heat's 135-112 loss to the...

Impact Mitchell stepped back in as the Heat's starting point guard after missing the team's previous two games due to a left shoulder contusion. Though he didn't come through with elevated production in the scoring or assists columns while backcourt mate Tyler Herro (ribs) was sidelined, Mitchell at least contributed useful numbers in the defensive categories. Assuming he experienced no setbacks with the shoulder Monday and that the Heat are able to stay more competitive with the Kings in Tuesday's contest, Mitchell could be in line to see increased playing time in the second leg of a back-to-back set.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Monday Mitchell (shoulder) is available for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Impact As expected, Mitchell will return from a two-game absence due to a left shoulder contusion. Over seven appearances this month, the 27-year-old point guard has averaged 8.3 points, 7.0 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 27.4 minutes per tilt. With Mitchell back in action, fewer minutes will be available for the likes of Kasparas Jakucionis and Dru Smith.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

On track to return Monday Mitchell (shoulder) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Mitchell has missed the Heat's last two games due to a left shoulder contusion, but the fifth-year point guard is trending toward returning Monday. With Tyler Herro (toe/rib) sidelined, Kasparas Jakucionis would likely lose his spot in the starting lineup if Mitchell is given the green light to return.
