Rotowire
Mitchell recorded 10 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Thursday's 124-113 preseason victory over Cleveland.
Mitchell made an impact across multiple categories, finishing one rebound shy of a double-double while logging the most minutes of any Boston player.

He's expected to see plenty of reps at the G League level this season on a two-way contract.

The 22-year-old showed flashes during Summer League, averaging 13.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.7 steals, 1.3 assists and 1.3 blocks in 26.0 minutes per game over his three appearances, and he notably enjoyed a six-steal performance during the July 12 win over Charlotte.
