5-time NBA All-Star Donovan Mitchell agrees to 3-year contract extension with Cavaliers: report

Nick Wright, Kevin Wildes and Chris Broussard discuss the latest news in the NBA, including Jayson Tatum agreeing to a 5-year, $314M contract extension with the Boston Celtics.

Donovan Mitchell recently wrapped up another standout season. The guard has been an NBA All-Star the past five seasons, but he entered the offseason surrounded by uncertainty.

But anxiety about Mitchell's future in Cleveland was put to bed Tuesday, when the 27-year-old agreed to a five-year, $150.3 million deal with the Cavaliers, ESPN reported. 

According to NBA rules, deals cannot be officially announced until Saturday.

Cleveland acquired Mitchell in a blockbuster trade shortly before the 2022-23 season. The team viewed him as perhaps the final piece to contend for an NBA championship with young stars Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen.
