The player took to X to express his anger, stating he's "sick of yall sometimes," in response to a report by Cleveland.com's Chris Fedor.

The reporter had suggested that Mitchell had become disheartened with certain teammates' perceived lack of maturity, focus, readiness for playoff-level intensity, and their reluctance to listen.

Mitchell and the Cavs clinched the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference this season, boasting a 48-34 record. While they defeated the Orlando Magic in the first round of the playoffs, their journey was cut short by a 4-1 series loss to the top-seeded Boston Celtics in the second round.

Mitchel was absent in the last two games due to a left calf strain.

Many speculations regarding Mitchell's future swirl, with ESPN's Brian Windhorst naming the Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, and Brooklyn Nets as primary contenders in a potential trade scenario.

Mitchell could also opt to extend his tenure with the Cavs, as he becomes eligible to sign a four-year, $208 million extension starting July 6, as noted by ESPN's Bobby Marks.
