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

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

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 Warriors.
Analyse
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.

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

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