Mitchell has a foot contusion. The next game is Wednesday. Game 3 is Saturday.
Should the Jazz rest Mitchell for game 2 to ensure he is healthier for game 3?

Losing game 2 doesnt mean the Jazz are done at all.Ummmm no. Lose game 2 and we are basically done. DM at 75% gives us a better chance to win than no DM. Not sure a couple extra days will make that much of a difference.
Yeah, but he doesnt really have a choice and these kind of things need rest for swelling to go down. 2 days rest is a big difference from 5 days rest.Did you see Mitchell on the bench in the 4th? Of course you did. You know ROY wouldn't stand for that kind of calculation.
Sorry for asking a legitimate question on a message board. Will I get reported?Oh Cy.... not like this.
Only bitches report people.Sorry for asking a legitimate question on a message board. Will I get reported?
The series doesnt start until the home team loses. If they lose game 3, they are are done.

Yes, because that includes 1-8, 2-7, and 3-6 series that are generally more lopsided in talent.Teams that go down 0-2 are 18-271 in best of 7 series... so while I enjoy a sports platitude as much as the next guy it isn’t really true.
Game 2 is also the most likely one for the road team to win. If he is good enough to play he plays... if he can’t play then there are no questions... he just can’t go.
It's a foot/toe contusion, which means a lot of swelling. Swelling only gets better through resting. So yeah, even if he can technically get up and play on it, doesnt mean it's in the best interest of the series.Teams that go down 0-2 are 18-271 in best of 7 series... so while I enjoy a sports platitude as much as the next guy it isn’t really true.

Since you are the resident sports injury person on here, what's the typical differnece in a foot/toe contusion after 2 days of rest compared to 5?We can still win the depres if we lose game 2 but it's less likely.
If we want to win we really need to take game 2. Otherwise it's an uphill battle. It's a lot of pressure to win games 3 and 4 at home when you are down 2.
If Mitchell isn't healthy though and it is risking his health they should sit him. Winning this series isn't worth it.
Also we can win without Mitchell it will just be harder and guys would need to step up obviously.
I am definitely not the injury expert. I am around them but that is not my field of expertise.Since you are the resident sports injury person on here, what's the typical differnece in a foot/toe contusion after 2 days of rest compared to 5?
You ever been injured before? Typically it happens and you can play through it, but it gets worse the following days with swelling.He's not limping, says he feels fine. Did you see him yesterday begging to get on the court while limping everywhere? Even if this question was worth considering (probably isn't) he's gonna play.
