Donovan Mitchell in concussion protocol, will miss Utah Jazz’s game Wednesday vs. Dallas Mavericks

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell has been ruled out of Wednesday night’s game at Vivint Arena after entering the NBA’s concussion protocol.

Mitchell’s first symptoms potentially linking him to a concussion occurred Wednesday morning, in the hours following the Jazz’s 108-94 victory over the New York Knicks on Tuesday night, the team’s ninth victory in a row.

The Jazz said that Mitchell “will continue to be monitored as he progresses through the concussion protocol.”

Mitchell, who made last year’s All-Star Game, is averaging 23.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game, while shooting 43.1% from the field, 39.5% from 3-point range, and 83.1% from the free-throw line.

The Jazz enter the Wednesday’s game second in the Western Conference with a 13-4 record.
