Donovan Mitchell will be out for at least another week the Utah Jazz announced on Saturday.

The All-Star guard suffered a right ankle sprain on April 16 against the Indiana Pacers. The team said that Mitchell would be re-evaluated after one week. That evaluation took place on Friday and resulted in the Jazz saying that he will again be re-evaluated in one week.

Saturday’s home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves marks Mitchell’s fourth consecutive game missed due to the ankle injury. The Jazz have a three-game road trip that begins on Monday at Minnesota and wraps up on Friday (the day that Mitchell is scheduled to be re-evaluated) against the Phoenix Suns.
