The Cleveland Cavaliers are assured Donovan Mitchell will signal a long-term contract extension with the franchise.
“We’ve been speaking to him, certain, for the final couple of years about extending this contract,” Dan Gilbert advised Larry Lage of the Related Press. “We expect he’ll lengthen. I feel when you hearken to him speak, he loves town.
“He loves the state of affairs in Cleveland as a result of our gamers are very younger and we’re simply sort of placing the core collectively that he’s clearly the largest a part of.”
Mitchell signed a five-year, $163 million contract in 2020 with Utah and is below contract by means of the 2026 season.
Mitchell is eligible to signal a four-year extension this summer time value roughly $200 million.
There was some hypothesis within the media that Mitchell might reject an extension supply by the Cavaliers and both search a commerce or go away in free company in 2025.
