Hendricks Hurt: Utah Loses Key Player in Tight Game
It's a tough break for the Utah Jazz, as star guard Donovan "Spida" Mitchell has been ruled out for the rest of the game against the (insert opponent) due to a scary ankle injury. The injury happened in the 3rd quarter, when Mitchell landed awkwardly after a drive to the basket. He immediately grabbed his ankle and winced in pain.
The Jazz were already down by a few points when Mitchell went down, and it looks like they'll have a tough time coming back without their leader. Mitchell was having a solid game, putting up 18 points before leaving the court. Fans are definitely worried, as the Jazz rely heavily on Mitchell's scoring and playmaking abilities.
While the team hasn't officially released details about the severity of Mitchell's injury, the way he limped off the court looked pretty bad. We all know ankles are a big deal, and it's hard to imagine the Jazz will be thrilled if their star guard is out for an extended period. The rest of the team will need to step up in Mitchell's absence, and fans will be hoping for a quick recovery for the injured star.
We'll keep you updated as more information comes out, but for now, let's hope for the best for Spida and the Jazz.
