Utah Jazz: Speculation exists that injury played role in Mitchell’s slow start

Donovan Mitchell has been nothing short of amazing thus far in 2019. In the month of January, he’s averaging a whopping 28.3 points per game on 46.5 percent shooting from the field and 42.5 percent from deep. To go along with that, he’s putting up nearly five assists and 1.4 steals per game while notching a plus/minus of 9.5. Perhaps best of all, he’s led the Utah Jazz to a 9-3 record.

His recent surge has been monumental for his team, but it’s also been extremely reassuring to see him bounce back from what had initially been a slow start for Mitchell.
