NBA News: Donovan Mitchell Officially Joins Sixers’ Conference

  • by

Throughout the majority of the 2022 NBA offseason, rumors flew around regarding the status of Utah Jazz All-Star Donovan Mitchell. After Mitchell’s Jazz sidekick Rudy Gobert was sent packing to the Minnesota Timberwolves, it seemed Mitchell could be the next domino to fall.

While the Jazz first avoided any trade-related discussion surrounding Mitchell, Utah eventually decided a rebuild would be best for their future. Suddenly, Mitchell was available.

It seemed Mitchell was New York’s to lose, as the Knicks were the frontrunners to land him from the jump. But after the Knicks and the Jazz failed to agree on ideal trade terms for both sides early last week, the Knicks extended their young standout RJ Barrett, which complicated further trade discussions.
