Speculation surrounding a potential trade involving Donovan Mitchell and the New York Knicks has been buzzing, but a recent report dismisses any notion of the Cleveland Cavaliers parting ways with their star player.
According to a Cleveland.com report by Terry Pluto, the Cavaliers have “zero interest” in trading their All-Star guard. Pluto, citing a top NBA source, dispels the trade rumors surrounding Mitchell, emphasizing that the team remains committed to their standout player.
The trade speculation gained traction following injuries to key Cavaliers players, Darius Garland (broken jaw) and Evan Mobley (arthroscopic knee surgery). Despite the setbacks, the Cavaliers maintain confidence in the duo’s return within 4 to 6 weeks, if not sooner, as per Pluto’s source.
Donovan Mitchell, currently in the third year of his 5-year, $163 million contract, has been a cornerstone for the Cavaliers. This season, the 27-year-old guard is delivering impressive performances, averaging 27.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 5.7 assists in 36.5 minutes per game.
