The Cleveland Cavaliers‘ point guard has been with the team for three seasons and this journey might come to an end as sources paint a picture that suggests the two parties cutting ties.

This comes amidst Donovan Mitchell‘s trade rumors that involve the Knicks keeping a close eye on him, although the Cavaliers are not keen on letting him go, and are trying to work out a contract extension. The Cavs already have a lot on their plate having to deal with multiple injuries, so the idea of letting go of a dormant player like Ricky isn’t too far-fetched.

That narrows it down to the Knicks, who have already shown a great interest in the Cavs’ PG. Things get messier as we learn that other teams like the

However, for now, Donovan seems focused on taking the Cavs to the playoffs, and the rumors might just be that- rumors. Besides, the Cavs are hell-bent on retaining him so unless he rejects a contract extension, Donovan will stay put.
