Mitchell logged six points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 11 rebounds, two steals and one assist across 33 minutes during the Vipers' 134-113 loss at Stockton on Friday.
Mitchell was the Vipers' best rebounder on the night, but they were the inferior team versus a Stockton squad that dominated Friday. Since the G League's regular season fired up, Mitchell has picked up where he left off, consistently notching 10-plus points.

Trhae Mitchell: Contributes across board
Rotowire
Mitchell tallied 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three steals and two assists over 25 minutes Thursday versus the Hustle.
Mitchell saw fewer minutes Thursday than in any previous game, but he ultimately took a season-high six shots and was efficient enough to reach double digits in the scoring column. Mitchell should remain a regular in the Vipers' rotation.
