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.
