Rotowire
Mitchell is questionable for Monday's game against the Wizards due to a stomach ailment, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Mitchell is a late addition to the injury report after feeling sick. He's played at least 30 minutes off the bench in seven straight and eight of Miami's last nine games, so his potential absence would be a big blow.

Heat's Davion Mitchell: Strong line in defeat
Rotowire
Mitchell ended with 12 points (3-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 116-95 loss to the Knicks.
Mitchell's production has been pretty volatile with Miami, but he took advantage of some extra minutes and usage due to Andrew Wiggins (leg) and Alec Burks (back) being sidelined. Fantasy managers will likely need to tread carefully here, as Mitchell has been well outside the top 200 in nine-category formats over his last five games with 8.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 three-pointers on 40.6 percent shooting.

Heat's Davion Mitchell: Productive despite defeat
Rotowire
Mitchell finished Friday's 103-91 loss to Boston with 12 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal across 35 minutes.
Mitchell came off the bench Friday but certainly made his presence felt, finishing just one rebound away from a double-double and posting his best scoring output since Feb. 26. This was the first time Mitchell came off the bench for the Heat since debuting with the team on Feb. 10, and it wouldn't be surprising if he's back in the starting lineup for the second leg of a back-to-back set against the Grizzlies on Saturday.

Rotowire
Mitchell isn't in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Celtics.

Heat's Davion Mitchell: Good to go Wednesday
Rotowire
Mitchell (quadriceps) said he will play Wednesday against the Cavaliers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Mitchell will be returning from a one-game absence, and that's a relief for Miami -- Tyler Herro (illness) is questionable, while Andrew Wiggins (ankle) and Jaime Jaquez (ankle) have both been ruled out. If he's feeling up to it, Mitchell could see increased usage on offense Wednesday night.

Rotowire
Mitchell (quadriceps) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Heat's Davion Mitchell: Added to injury report
Rotowire
Mitchell is questionable for Monday's game against the Wizards with a left quadriceps contusion.
Mitchell was a very late addition to the injury report, and with this being the second leg of a back-to-back set, that doesn't bode well for his status. If Mitchell is held out Monday, the Heat would likely need to turn to Alec Burks and Terry Rozier to soak up some backcourt minutes.

Heat's Davion Mitchell: Sniffs double-double in win
Rotowire

Heat's Davion Mitchell: Ties season high with 20 points
Rotowire
Mitchell registered 20 points (7-8 FG, 5-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 131-109 victory over the Hawks.
Mitchell has been a significant part of Miami's rotation since being traded from Toronto, starting all seven of his appearances and averaging 10.0 points, 3.6 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 32.0 minutes. His presence has also essentially forced Terry Rozier out of the rotation, with the veteran a DNP-CD for two straight games. Mitchell's 20 points represent a sizable outlier from his typical production, and it was achieved on extremely efficient shooting. He's taken 10 shots in a game only once since joining the Heat, so fantasy managers should expect Mitchell to mostly be an assists and steals producer.

Raptors' Davion Mitchell: Cleared for Tuesday
Rotowire
Mitchell (heel) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Mitchell will return to action after missing Sunday's win over the Clippers due to a right foot plantar callus fissure.
