Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (45) calls for the ball during the San Antonio Spurs versus Utah Jazz NBA basketball game at Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2018.

SALT LAKE CITY — Many people have been called for jury duty at one time in their lives, whether they end up serving on an actual jury or not.

It turns out even pro basketball players get the chance to serve on a jury as Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell recently found out.

Mitchell received a letter asking him to be available for jury duty for most of the month of January, during which time the Jazz will play 15 games, including eight at home.
