On April 26, Beijing time, the Jazz defeated the Lone Ranger 77-102 away, the series scored 2-3 behind, and one more loss was eliminated; the Jazz fiasco and bad news, the last quarter of the garbage time Mitchell covered his thigh injured and left, limping back to the locker room, initially diagnosed as a left hamstring injury.
In the final quarter, Mitchell suffered an injury when he landed on a breakthrough layup and was in pain to cover his thigh; at 4:41 Mitchell was injured, limping directly out of the court with his thigh covered, and returned to the locker room for examination; the Jazz have officially announced the initial injury, Mitchell's left hamstring injury, will be further examined after returning to Salt Lake City tomorrow.
After the game, Mitchell himself said that his hamstring was tight, and said that he should participate in the G6 life-and-death battle, have an MRI tomorrow, and bluntly said: I am a competitor.
In today's game, Mitchell played 32 minutes, shooting 4 of 15, 7 of 3-pointers, 1 of 1 free throw, 9 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, 4 turnovers, plus-minus -38 on the court, and it was too bad to lose 38 points on the field.
So far in the playoffs, the league has several stars injured, Sun star Booker and Heat star Lowry have suffered hamstring injuries, of which Booker has missed 3 consecutive games due to injury, G5 Tianwangshan can not come back; now Mitchell has also suffered such injuries, from the scene situation, his hamstring injury may be more serious than Booker's, which means that G6 life and death battle, Mitchell will be suspended due to injury.
Hamstring injuries are troublesome, and generally a first-degree strain requires a 7-10 day break, a second-degree strain requires multiple weeks of injury, and a third-degree strain is a few months of injury; the Jazz have been forced to the brink of life and death but have broken the star, and I am afraid that they will have to go out of the first round.
