The 6-1 Utah Jazz begin an east coast road trip tonight against the 4-4 Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks haven’t quite hit their stride this season while the Jazz have rolled along to a 6-1 record with very little resistance.
Tonight’s test just got tougher with the news that Donovan Mitchell is out because of a sprained ankle.
UPDATED injury report:
*OUT - Donovan Mitchell (right ankle sprain)
*AVAILABLE - Jared Butler (non-COVID related illness)
*AVAILABLE - Royce O’Neale (right ankle sprain)
*AVAILABLE - Hassan Whiteside (left ankle sprain)
OUT - Rudy Gay (right heel injury recovery)— Utah Jazz (@utahjazz) November 4, 2021That makes things a lot tougher for the Jazz who have gotten some incredible play from Mitchell recently.
