The 12 points and eight assists Mitchell tallied in 32 minutes in the Cavs’ 117-114 win over Philadelphia preceded his first media ability since he went out and, also, since Niang and Gilbert each put it out there that they thought Mitchell would remain a Cav. “I thought Georges said I was going to the Mets,” Mitchell said, coyly. “I think the biggest thing for me, as I said before to you earlier, I mean obviously you have to ask the question, but my focus is I got a lot of things to focus on outside of that right now. I’ve got to focus on myself, getting back for this group, focus on us getting over this stretch, continuing to be ready when it comes time. “So, I’ll handle that when it comes, and I understand you gotta ask that question and I’ll give you the same answer.” -via The Athletic / March 30, 2024
