Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell put on a show in his first playoff outing, dropping 27 points and 10 rebounds in a 116-108 loss to the Thunder.
But the star rookie also suffered a left foot contusion in the game.
Ahead of Game 2 on Wednesday night, Mitchell said he is determined to take the floor, but wants to be smart about the injury, via Eric Woodyard of the Deseret News:
Donovan Mitchell on playing Game 2: “I’m real determined on playing but if my body can’t, I’m not going to push it now and not be available the rest of the series. I think it’s a matter of being smart with it.”
