On February 21, Beijing time, the 2022 NBA All-Star Weekend will usher in the main game today. In this year's All-Star roster, the Jazz became one of the winners, with two big players, Mitchell and Gobert, both successfully selected.
But sadly, Mitchell will miss today's All-Star game due to illness. He wrote in a statement: "It is a great honor for me to be selected as an All-Star, and it has always been my dream. Sadly, due to an upper respiratory infection (not COVID-19), I will have to withdraw from today's All-Star Game. The whole All-Star Weekend was a celebration of the basketball world, the fans, and the ones like I had the privilege of participating in. I'm going to focus on recovering and then getting back on the pitch. Thank you all for your best wishes, I can't wait to see today's game! ”
Since joining the NBA in 2017, Mitchell has become an All-Star regular, and this season is his third attendance, but his absence due to illness has become his regret. In this year's All-Star division, Mitchell was assigned to the James team, and his absence will also damage the strength of the James team.
So far this season, Mitchell has averaged 33.4 minutes per game, averaging 25.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.6 steals, shooting 45.6 percent from the field and 35.1 percent from three-point range. The Jazz currently sit 4th in the West with 36-22 losses.
