The Utah Jazz are facing elimination on Friday night in a do-or-die Game 6 against the Los Angeles Clippers. Although superstar Donovan Mitchell is dealing with a sore ankle, he is ready to show out. Well, based on his latest tweet just hours before tip-off.
The Jazz guard had a rough Game 5 on Wednesday as Utah suffered a shock defeat on home court, despite Kawhi Leonard being sidelined for the Clippers. Mitchell had just 21 points on the night and struggled to find his usual explosiveness off the dribble due to that sore ankle, which also kept him out towards the end of the regular season. On the opposite side, Paul George had the night of his life.
Now, the Jazz will be looking to force a Game 7 back in Salt Lake City if they can collect a victory on Friday night. Based on Mitchell's tweet, he is clearly pumped for this contest. Quin Snyder also received a boost to his lineup with veteran guard Mike Conley expected to make his series debut at the Staples Center after missing the first five games of the second round due to a hamstring injury.
The Jazz will have all their cards in place it seems. But, it will certainly come down to Donovan Mitchell having a big night and willing his team to victory. Based on how he's performed throughout the course of the postseason, Spida will likely rise to the occasion.
