Cavaliers are only making their Donovan Mitchell problem worse

Donovan Mitchell has enjoyed a spectacular individual season in 2025-26 thus far. That elevated level of greatness is being born out of necessity. That should be cause for concern if you're the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Mitchell is averaging a career-high 29.9 points per game this season. That is being delivered with the best field goal percentage (50.3), and true shooting percentage (64.3) of his playing days in the NBA. The efficiency is through the roof for the Cavaliers star.

There is no doubt that Mitchell has been, by far and away, the best offensive player for Cleveland this season.
