NBA: Donovan Mitchell to stay at Cleveland Cavaliers, agrees to three-year deal extension - Reports

The Hindu  

Donovan Mitchell has agreed to a three-year NBA contract extension with the Cleveland Cavaliers worth $150.3 million that keeps him with the team through 2028-29, according to multiple reports Tuesday. The Cavaliers, who lost to eventual champion Boston in the second round of last season’s playoffs, fired coach J.B. Bickerstaff after the campaign and have hired former Golden State assistant coach Kenny Atkinson as their new head coach. Free agency has already produced some big moves, with Paul George departing the Los Angeles Clippers to join the Philadelphia 76ers and Klay Thompson leaving the Golden State Warriors to join Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving with the Dallas Mavericks, who lost to Boston in last month’s NBA Finals. Among other free agents on the market is LeBron James, who is expected to make a deal to stay with the Los Angeles Lakers and play alongside his son Bronny, taken by the team in the second round of last week’s NBA Draft.
