SALT LAKE CITY — During the past few months, Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell has become a notable voice in the conversations about racial justice, and that continued Wednesday in a first-person piece published by The Players’ Tribune.
Yes, Mitchell spent a good portion of the piece recounting the events of March 11 and the immediate aftermath, as Jazz teammate Rudy Gobert’s positive coronavirus test was the impetus for the shutdown of sports in North America and he himself tested positive hours later. But much of the story focused on his personal experiences with racial injustice.
