Looks great despite loss Mitchell logged 24 points (10-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six assists, one rebound and one steal across 27 minutes of Saturday's 92-80 G League loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact Mitchell just recently agreed to terms on a three-year deal worth nearly $9 million to re-sign with the Thunder, and if Saturday was any indication, he could be a bargain at that rate. The 23-year-old appeared in 36 regular-season contests during his rookie season, posting averages of 6.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 16.6 minutes per game. Oklahoma City's backcourt rotation will be even more crowded with the team looking to incorporate Nikola Topic, but Mitchell likely made a strong impression on the coaching staff Saturday.

Expected to sign with OKC Mitchell intends to sign a three-year, $9 million contract with the Thunder, Shams Charania of ESPN reports Sunday.

Makes cameo Sunday Mitchell tallied no counting stats in one minute during Sunday's 103-91 win over Indiana in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
Impact Mitchell saw brief action in Sunday's championship win but didn't record a stat. The rookie appeared in just over half of Oklahoma City's playoff games, playing in 12 of 23 and averaging 7.0 minutes in those contests. During the regular season, he averaged 6.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 16.6 minutes across 36 games, including one start.

Impact The Thunder was no match for the Timberwolves, waving the white flag early in the piece, affording the bench unit with some extra run. Mitchell made the most of a rare opportunity, matching Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with a team-high 14 points. Mitchell has not been on the court when it matters thus far during the playoffs, making this nothing more than an outlier.

Tallies nine points in return Mitchell (toe) recorded nine points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists and one steal across 18 minutes in Friday's 145-111 win over the Jazz.
Impact Suiting up for the first time since Jan. 3 after a lengthy recovery from surgery to address a right big toe sprain, Mitchell ended up taking on a decent-sized role off the bench while the Thunder held out seven rotation players with what appear to be minor injuries. With Oklahoma City having already clinched the league's best record, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (shin), Jalen Williams (hip), Cason Wallace (shoulder), Alex Caruso (ankle), Luguentz Dort (knee), Chet Holmgren (back) and Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) could all remain out for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Pelicans, or at least have their minutes kept in check in advance of the playoffs. Mitchell could thus be in line for a similar or larger workload Sunday, though the rookie second-round pick won't be guaranteed a regular spot in the rotation during the postseason when the Thunder are at full strength.
