“I suffered something called rhabdomyolysis last night. My muscles stopped producing and reached their maximum capacity,” he wrote. “I entered a feeling of numbness/paralyzing feeling without movement from my lower extremities for up to 5 to 7 seconds.
“I panicked because I began to think the worst when I felt I couldn’t move my legs. It was an experience outside the body and I thank God for covering myself at a time like that.”
Mitchell, three times All-Star, was one of the fever players that intensified tremendously in the absences of his other stars. He played 44 games this season, averaging 20.2 points and 3.4 assists per game.
