Questionable with shoulder sprain
Mitchell is questionable for Wednesday's game against Orlando with a left shoulder sprain.
Analysis
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.
Analysis
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.
Analysis
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.
Analysis
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

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