Cavaliers Star Donovan Mitchell Relieved to Be in Cleveland for Long Haul

Associated Press  

Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell has relieved the weight of expectations and speculation about his future with a three-year, $150.3 million contract extension with the team. Mitchell, who was traded from Utah to Cleveland in 2022, feels an immediate connection with the city and is excited to be part of the team's core moving forward. The 28-year-old spent much of last season dealing with questions about his commitment to the Cavs, but he has now signed the contract and is ready to focus on the team's goals. The team has a strong core of players and Mitchell is one of the game's best two-way guards, which makes him an important addition to the team's lineup.
