Thunder x-factor's ongoing absence could prove costly come postseason

OKC Thunder point guard Ajay Mitchell was having nothing short of a breakout season before an abdominal injury derailed his momentum.

Now, a month and a half into his hiatus, fans are wondering when they'll see their team's sixth man again.

Mitchell has missed 18 games and counting since his last game on January 21st, and there is still no timetable for his return. This could prove quite problematic down the stretch.

Thunder have clearly felt Ajay Mitchell's absence

Since officially breaking onto the scene at the beginning of the season, Mitchell has established himself as the x-factor for OKC.
