Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell confirmed that he won't be signing an extension with the franchise across the 2023-24 season.

However, he reassured fans that the possibility of signing an extension remains open next summer.

"I want it to be known that I still have the opportunity to sign an extension next summer," Mitchell told Tony Pesta of Fear The Sword. "I don't think a lot of people understand that aspect."

Currently under contract with the Cavaliers until the 2024-25 season, Mitchell also holds a player option for 2025-26 valued at $37 million.

Mitchell, who was traded to the Cavs before the 2022-23 campaign from the Utah Jazz, had the best season in his NBA career, averaging 28.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 4.4 assists in 68 games.
