“I was just limping, so the trainers saw me limping and they thought I needed to come out, but I was just being a baby, so I’m good,” Donovan told reporters postgame.
Mitchell says he stubbed his toe, and that it was “nothing major.”
Spida finished with 27 points and 10 rebounds against the OKC Thunder in his playoff debut, but it was enough for the Utah Jazz, who fell 116-108.
Per the Deseret News:
After exploding for 27 points and 10 rebounds in his playoff debut, the star rookie guard would sit the last 3:19 with left foot soreness.
“I feel fine,” Mitchell said. “I just stubbed my toe, nothing major.”
