It's been a long few weeks for Donovan Mitchell.
During a game against the Lakers on Jan. 17, Mitchell was inadvertently elbowed in the head by Russell Westbrook in the first half. While he later admitted to a slight headache, he was able to finish the game and met with reporters afterward. Not thinking much of the hit or feeling off somehow, Mitchell didn't assume much and figured the headache would disappear.
But late that night, especially after flying from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City, Mitchell's headache became unbearable and nausea set in — that's when he knew something was off.
