Utah Jazz's Donovan Mitchell expected to miss several games after MRI shows no structural damage, sources say

An MRI on the right ankle sprain of Donovan Mitchell revealed no structural damage, but the Utah Jazz guard is expected to miss several games before he is cleared to return, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Mitchell suffered the injury during the third quarter of Friday's 119-111 win over the Pacers when he jumped to try to deflect a long outlet pass and came down awkwardly with his foot underneath Indiana guard Edmond Sumner. Mitchell immediately grabbed his lower leg in pain and needed help getting to the locker room, with teammate Royce O'Neale and a trainer supporting him.
