July 7 (UPI) — The Cleveland Cavaliers and Donovan Mitchell agreed to a four-year, $273 million extension, which could keep the All-Star guard under contract through 2030-31.
Sources told ESPN, The Athletic and Cleveland.com about the agreement Tuesday. Mitchell’s pact includes a 2030-31 player option. The new deal will replace the player option for 2027-28 from his former contract.
The seven-time All-Star and three-time All-NBA selection averaged 27.9 points, 5.7 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game over 70 starts last season.
Mitchell, who joined the Cavaliers in a 2022 trade from the Utah Jazz, averaged 25.1 points, 4.8 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game over the first 609 appearances of his NBA career.
He logged 27.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game over his first 81 postseason appearances.
That stretch included a 26 points per game output during the 2026 postseason, when he helped the Cavaliers reach the Eastern Conference finals, where the eventual NBA champion New York Knicks swept them.
