The Jazz have been closely monitoring how rookie Donovan Mitchell makes decisions on the floor. On Thursday night, he made a bold one.
That was the pattern on the blazer Mitchell wore on the bench as Utah took on the San Antonio Spurs in their return to Vivint Smart Home Arena after a stretch of six games on the road. While the 21-year-old sensation would’ve liked to be sporting home whites with his teammates for the nationally televised game, the Jazz determined a few hours before tipoff that Mitchell wouldn’t be able to play with a toe contusion he first suffered in Cleveland last week.
