SALT LAKE CITY — A lot of star power will be missing from Monday’s Utah Jazz matchup against the Dallas Mavericks, including Donovan Mitchell.
The Jazz’s All-Star guard did not play in Friday’s back-to-back opener against the San Antonio Spurs due to a left lower leg peroneal strain, though he returned the next day to play against the Denver Nuggets.
On Sunday night Mitchell was listed as questionable for the Jazz’s seeding game against the Mavericks with the same ailment and then downgraded to “out” on the team’s injury report Monday morning.
The Mavericks, on the first day of a back-to-back set, will also be missing their biggest stars on Monday in Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis, as well as Dorian Finney-Smith.
