Donovan Mitchell remains a chance to play in Game 6 of the Utah Jazz’s first round playoff series against the Dallas Mavericks.
Mitchell limped out of Monday’s 102-77 loss to the Mavericks in the fourth quarter, as Dallas claimed a 3-2 series lead to put the Jazz on the brink of elimination.
The Jazz provided an update on Tuesday after an MRI on the injury was negative, ahead of Thursday’s Game 6 in Salt Lake City.
“Mitchell has bi-lateral quadriceps contusions and will continue treatment,” the Jazz said.
“His status for Game 6 against Dallas will be updated on Wednesday.”
Mitchell doubled over in pain as he limped towards the tunnel on Monday, but said at the time he remained hopeful of playing in Game 6.
“This is the playoffs, so I’ve got to find a way,” Mitchell said. “We’ll see how I feel, but I’m a competitor.”
Mitchell is averaging 25.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1,5 steals per game this season.
