SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Jazz All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell has become a prominent voice concerning matters of racial justice in recent months, and according to a report Tuesday from The Athletic’s Shams Charania, he will formally become part of a new group of NBA players tasked with helping to realize the league’s goals of greater social justice.
Charania reported that the league and its players’ association have jointly created two groups — the NBA Foundation and the Social Justice Coalition — with Mitchell being in the latter group alongside Portland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony and Milwaukee Bucks guard Sterling Brown.
