SALT LAKE CITY — “Donovan! Donovan!” a young fan screamed, among a herd of others trying to catch the attention of the Utah Jazz’s franchise player.
On a hot, 92-degree summer afternoon, Donovan Mitchell pulled up to the Park Place parking lot — adjacent to Vivint Arena — on Monday to surprise everyone participating in the Jazz’s 3-on-3 Tournament as part of the Summer League festivities.
The crowd grew so thick that security had to clear a path for Mitchell to skirt off in his stylish white Audi ride.
“I just wanted to come by,” Mitchell explained, before taking off.
