Donovan Mitchell Signs Four-Year $273 Million Deal to Stay with Cleveland Cavaliers
Donovan Mitchell has secured his future with the Cleveland Cavaliers by signing a new four-year contract worth $273 million, announced on July 7, 2026. The 29-year-old shooting guard's deal includes a player option for the 2030/31 NBA season. Mitchell joined the Cavaliers in 2022 after a trade with the Utah Jazz, which involved multiple players and draft picks, including Lauri Markkanen and Collin Sexton.
In the previous season, Mitchell averaged 27.9 points, 5.7 assists, and 4.5 rebounds per game during the regular season, and posted 26 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.1 assists in the playoffs. Originally drafted by the Denver Nuggets in 2017, Mitchell was immediately traded to Utah, where he played five seasons and earned seven consecutive All-Star selections, as well as a spot on the All-NBA First Team in 2025.
This contract extension solidifies Mitchell's role as a cornerstone for the Cavaliers as they aim to build a competitive team around him in the coming years.
