Mitchell is 2 weeks into this injury and is now still having enough issues to see a specialist. Y'all, this isn't good news for this young man's health & potentially his NBA future. 2nd concussion in a year. Everyone reacts differently, but most are fine within a week.

First and foremost, as a person, I hope his health is ok long term. The NFL has showed us the long term damage of not dealing with concussions with seriousness.

On the court, the team seems like they will be without DM for at least a bit longer. They NEED him back.

How does the team get back on track (to at least .500 ball), without Mitchell, other than "Get Gobert back"?
Does there HAVE to be a trade, or do we just need to get passed the trade deadline/AS break, so players feel comfortable and get out of their heads?
Can guys like House, Butler and Hughes fill in enough to right the ship even without Ingles & Donovan?
Can we count on Conley to step up to his Grizzly-role, where he takes the reigns for a bit?

Wishing Donovan well. He has to be so frustrated, and potentially scared about this injury, which can be way more serious than most body-injuries.

Concussions are the worst, my brother in law ended up having to quit all sports after a single one and still to this day gets headaches and dizzy from it.

At this point I could really see us fall into play in range.
