Utah Jazz star Donovan Mitchell needed to be helped off the floor and into the locker room by teammates during the third quarter of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers due to a right ankle injury. He did not return.
X-rays were negative on Mitchell's ankle, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Sources also told Wojnarowski Mitchell has a low ankle sprain, and there is early optimism it is not a major injury. Mitchell will receive an MRI later Friday, with further treatment and evaluation to follow.
The injury occurred with 8:20 left in the quarter.
