Davion Mitchell Staying in Miami on 2-Year, $24 Million Deal, AP Source Says
- Davion Mitchell, a 26-year-old guard from Baylor, agreed to a fully guaranteed two-year, $24 million deal to remain with the Miami Heat in June 2025.
- Mitchell secured this contract after being dealt to Miami partway through the season and delivering a strong performance in 2024-25, where he established himself as a regular starter.
- He averaged 10.3 points, five assists per game, shot nearly 40% from three-point range, and ranked in the top five for contested field-goal percentage allowed on defense last season.
- The Heat issued an $8.74 million qualifying offer to make Mitchell a restricted free agent, and he opted to directly negotiate and re-sign without testing the market.
- This re-signing secures a core player for Miami and positions Mitchell to potentially earn a larger contract with increased playing time over the next two seasons.
