Cavs are confident Mitchell will sign extension

Signs continue to point to Mitchell staying put.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have chosen their next head coach. The next thing on their summer to-do list is to procure a contract extension from Donovan Mitchell who is eligible to opt out of his current deal next summer.

According to The Athletic, Cleveland “is confident” that Mitchell will do so soon. The Cavs are prepared to offer him a $209 million extension. The fourth year of that deal is expected to be a player option.
