That’s right, you read the headline correctly. Made official as of Thursday, January 30, Donovan Mitchell is now an NBA All-Star. He joined his Utah Jazz runningmate Rudy Gobert as a first-time selection, an awesome accomplishment for both players and the franchise.
Donovan’s All-Star bid was absolutely deserved as he is having a tremendous season up to this point. Through Utah’s first 47 games, Mitchell is posting averages of 25 points on 46.2 percent shooting from the field and 36.8 percent from deep, all of which are career highs. He has continually led his team on offense and is Utah’s go-to guy when they absolutely need a bucket, particularly in the clutch.
