WASHINGTON, April 18 (Xinhua) -- The Oklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George and the Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell, the leading scorers for their respective teams in their first-round playoff series, are uncertain for Game 2 due to injuries.

George scored 36 points in the opener and set a team playoff record with eight 3-pointers in Oklahoma City's 116-108 win, but he missed the last minute to get treatment for a bruised right hip. Thunder coach Billy Donovan said on Wednesday that George was limited in practice and did not do contact work.

Mitchell suffered a left foot bruise in Game 1. He had 27 points and 10 rebounds in the opener after averaging 20.5 points in the regular season. Enditem
