Speculation has swirled of late about Donovan Mitchell\u2019s future with the Cleveland Cavaliers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mitchell has been the Cavs\u2019 top scorer and clear best player over the last two seasons. But\u00a0Mitchell has somewhat avoided discussing the topic\u00a0of signing an extension to stay in Cleveland.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There may be a reason behind Mitchell\u2019s hesitance to talk about a new deal. According to Bleacher Report\u2019s Eric Pincus, the chatter heard within NBA circles is that Mitchell\u00a0will decline an extension and look elsewhere\u00a0when his contract is up.<\/p>\n

The report added that the Cavs are \u201cmore likely than not\u201d to trade Mitchell before they lose him for nothing in free agency.<\/p>\n

Mitchell is in the third year of the five-year, $153 million contract he signed in 2020 as a member of the Utah Jazz. The five-time All-Star can opt out of the deal after next season.<\/p>\n

The report did state that Mitchell may be more inclined to return if the team makes a surprise run to the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n

The Cavaliers, third in the East through Friday, are battling for home-court advantage in the final stretch of the regular season. The team still has an outside shot at overtaking the Milwaukee Bucks for the 2-seed.<\/p>\n

Through 52 contests this season, Mitchell has averaged 26.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 6.0 assists on 46.3% shooting. Injuries have forced the Cavs star to miss 25 games, which disqualifies him from postseason award consideration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
