Mitchell Downgraded to Questionable for Friday with Ankle Sprain

Miami Heat guard Davion Mitchell (ankle) has been downgraded from probable to questionable for Friday's game against Boston. This is a troubling update, as he was initially expected to handle increased ball-handling duties with Tyler Herro (toe) ruled out. In 20 games this season without Herro, Mitchell has averaged 10.5 points, 7.3 assists, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.2 steals across 29.9 minutes. If Mitchell is unable to play, Dru Smith could potentially start, with Kasparas Jakucionis as backup.
