Utah Jazz star Donovan Mitchell returned to game action Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks after suffering a sprained ankle Saturday and reaggravating it Monday, and he was in fine form.

The Jazz wound up winning 117-102, and Mitchell finished with a team-high 23 points while adding seven assists, five rebounds and two steals. Not a bad night, and one where he produced some amazing highlights.
