Donovan Mitchell loves Netflix. The Utah Jazz guard has said he likes to relax by binge-watching episodes of “The Office” and “Burn Notice.” But starting February 8, Mitchell will be able to find himself streaming on Netflix.
Mitchell is one of a handful of NBA players, including Minnesota’s Karl-Anthony Towns and Detroit’s Reggie Jackson, who will be featured in director Steven Soderbergh’s new film, “High Flying Bird.” The movie tells the story of a sports agent (played by André Holland) navigating a fictional NBA lockout. Actual interviews with Mitchell and other players discussing their NBA experiences are interspersed throughout the film.
