Donovan Mitchell sends clear message regarding his future with Cavaliers
Donovan Mitchell sends clear message regarding his future with Cavaliers originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . It seems like there has been speculation regarding Donovan Mitchell's desire to remain in Cleveland ever since he was first traded to the Cavaliers in September of 2022.
Cleveland isn't necessarily the most popular place for NBA players (just ask Joakim Noah), so many have suggested that Mitchell will ultimately look to continue his career elsewhere. But, that might not necessarily be the case. Mitchell signed an extension with the Cavs in 2024, and he'll be eligible for another one, as he has two years remaining on his current contract, including a player option for the 2027-28 season.
When asked about continuing his career in Cleveland by Sam Amick of The Athletic, Mitchell made it clear that he would like to remain in Cleveland for as long as possible – as long as the organization remains committed to winning. "I love Cleveland. I’ve said it before: I want to play here for as long as I can," Mitchell said.
"And the goal is to win — as long as we’re continuing to win at the highest level. But I love it, man. It’s a place that I feel like I can call home, you know what I mean?
