Donovan Mitchell
The Cleveland Cavaliers are on a roll, winning eight matches out of the nine they played. Their star player Donovan Mitchell made a comeback to the team after missing out few games. The Cavs were up against the Los Angeles Lakers, and the fans were expected to come out in numbers and support King James but the wind blew in the other direction.
Donovan’s NBA career reached new heights after being traded to the Cleveland team from the Utah Jazz. In the games before injuries, he was leading the way all over scoring a constant 30s. Against the LA Lakers as well, he scored 33 points, averaging 31.1 pts in the ongoing season. He has set standards real high with his gameplay and is also in the race to the MVP award this season.
Cleveland has put up a strong roster, which performed highly, even in the absence of Donovan. But he is still a vital cog in their machine. When the Cavs played against the Lakers, everyone expected that the LA legend LeBron James would have quite a support as it was the Lakers home court, but Donovan stole the show away and got all the fan love while routing the Lakers 114 -100. The fans took to Twitter to share their excitement and love-filled reactions, which can be seen below:

Donovan Mitchell adds firepower to the Cleveland Cavaliers team
Since he was drafted, Mitchell has been an essential part of the Cavs team. Regarded as one of the highly talented players, the former Utah Jazz player didn’t get much opportunity to showcase his talent while playing for them. But once he took the court for the Cavs, he has been a powerful arsenal for them. He scored 30+ pts for the sixth time when he faced off against the Lakers.
Cleveland hasn’t seen much success without LeBron James on it’s roster, but this current group appears primed to rewrite history. Donovan even created a record no one could achieve in the Cleveland team yet. The Lakers had the lead for the majority of the time in the game. But Donovan was leading the charge, and Darius Garland set the tone for the Cavs powerful comeback and won the game by 14 pts.
Donovan Mitchell’s career-high was 26.4 PPG on 56.9 TS% before. But this season, he’s averaging 31.4 PPG on 62.4 TS%. The Cavs with the kind of form they are in, look like a strong contender for this season’s championship title.
