"It was not immediately clear how Mitchell suffered the injury. After a foul was called on teammate Aliyah Boston, Mitchell grabbed her leg in apparent discomfort before reaching out to hold onto a referee. She made her way onto the floor, where she was attended to by team personnel and surrounded by teammates holding up towels to give her privacy. A stretcher was brought out onto the floor, but Mitchell did not use it, leaving the floor with assistance after approximately five minutes."
"ESPN's Holly Rowe reported that the area of concern appeared to be the left quad above her knee, and that she may have had some cramping in the right leg as well. The Fever did not share an exact injury diagnosis, saying that Mitchell is still being evaluated. Mitchell has been the Fever's leading scorer this season, averaging 20.2 points per game in the regular season and 23.3 points per game in the playoffs."
