Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert offer support and friendship to Utah teen who had been bullied

After a Pleasant Grove, Utah, high school student became the victim of bullying, vandalism, and racism, two of the Utah Jazz’s biggest stars made sure the teenager knew he didn’t deserve any of it.

“It’s just not right,” Donovan Mitchell said.

So Mitchell and Rudy Gobert set out trying to make things right for Luc Holdaway. They exchanged text messages and offered him their support. And on Monday night, the high school senior sat courtside to watch Mitchell and Gobert take on the Minnesota Timberwolves.

“It’s a great thing everybody’s stepping in, to be able to show him support,” Mitchell said.
