Report: Raptors among teams interested in Jazz's Mitchell

25.07.2022 - 19:23 tsn.ca

The Toronto Raptors are reportedly one of a handful of teams who are interested in Utah Jazz star Donovan Mitchell. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Raptors as well as the New York Knicks, Washington Wizards, Miami Heat, Charlotte Hornets, Sacramento Kings and Atlanta Hawks have all shown interest in the three-time All-Star.

The 25-year-old guard averaged 25.9 points, 5.3 assists and 4.2 rebounds while shooting 44.8 per cent from the floor in 67 games last season, his fifth campaign in Utah.

The Jazz have made the playoffs each season with Mitchell in the fold, finishing with a 49-33 record in 2021-22 before losing to the Dallas Mavericks in the opening round.

With a large stock pile of draft picks and young players, the Knicks seemed to be the frontrunners to land Mitchell, but Charania reports those talks have slowed down and they are "far from an agreement." Charania notes Mitchell has not asked for a trade and the Jazz are not operating with a sense of urgency to deal him.

Mitchell Santner stars as New Zealand beat West Indies in T20 series opener

West Indies' season of white-ball woe continued on Wednesday when New Zealand completed a 13-run win in the first T20 International of a three-match series at Sabina Park in Jamaica. Fresh from a successful European sojourn, the Black Caps posted a formidable 185 for five batting first in a rain-interrupted innings before their premier bowlers combined to limit the Caribbean side to 172 for seven in reply. Since getting the better of Bangladesh 2-0 in a T20I duel, the West Indies have been swept 3-0 by the Bangladeshis and India in successive One-Day International series before going down 4-1 to the Indians in another T20I campaign immediately preceding this assignment. New Zealand almost paid for a period of complacency towards the end of the match as an explosive unbroken 58-run eighth-wicket partnership between Romario Shepherd (31 not out) and Odean Smith (27 not out) gave the hosts a glimmer of hope after they had crashed to 114 for seven in the 16th over. But they were left with too much to do as "Man of the Match" Mitchell Santner's haul of three for 19 ripped the heart of the West Indies batting as he claimed the wickets of captain Nicholas Pooran first ball before adding Shimron Hetmyer and top-scorer Shamarh Brooks (42) to his list of victims.
