Cavs Secure Donovan Mitchell with $150.3M Extension

Donovan Mitchell has agreed to a three-year, $150.3 million contract extension with the Cleveland Cavaliers, securing his place with the team until at least 2027 with a player option for the 2027-2028 season. This extension not only removes Mitchell from free agency but also marks the Cavs' most significant move since signing LeBron James, affirming their commitment to building a championship contender around their star player. Mitchell has excelled in Cleveland, leading the team to consecutive playoff appearances and posting impressive stats, including a franchise-record 71 points in a single game. The extension solidifies the Cavs' core as they look to further strengthen their roster under new head coach Kenny Atkinson, who believes the team has the potential to compete at the highest level.
