NBA Playoffs: Donovan Mitchell Status in Jazz Grizzlies Game

The Utah Jazz will be without Donovan Mitchell on Sunday, according to Tony Jones of The Atheltic.

The Utah Jazz had the best record in the NBA this season and finished as the first seed in the Western Conference.

A lot of that success was due to the play of All-Star shooting guard Donovan Mitchell.
