This past year he finished fifth in the NBA MVP voting and earned All-NBA First Team honors for the first time in his career. He certainly earned the accolades with the year he had.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In 71 starts, Mitchell averaged 24 points, 5.0 assists and 4.5 rebounds. The team secure the No. 1 seed in the East thanks to his efforts and swept the Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs, but lost in five to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Jones is arguably an even bigger star in her own profession. She&#8217;s been singing professionally since before she turned 10 and signed her first recording contract at age 14. Since then, she&#8217;s become a world-renown musician with 26 singles, a studio album and six EPs. She&#8217;s also become an accomplished actress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">We could have the making of a new power couple in the sports and entertainment industries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Congratulations to the happy couple.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thespun.com\/nba\/cleveland-cavaliers\/photos-meet-the-girlfriend-of-nba-star-donovan-mitchell\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Photos: Meet The Girlfriend Of NBA Star Donovan Mitchell;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Related: Photos: Meet The Girlfriend Of NBA Star Donovan Mitchell<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thespun.com\/nba\/congratulations-pouring-in-for-cavaliers-star-donovan-mitchell\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Congratulations Pouring In For Cavaliers Star Donovan Mitchell;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Congratulations Pouring In For Cavaliers Star Donovan Mitchell<\/a> first appeared on The Spun on Jul 11, 2025<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This story was originally reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/thespun.com\/nba\/congratulations-pouring-in-for-cavaliers-star-donovan-mitchell\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Spun;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The Spun<\/a> on Jul 11, 2025, where it first appeared.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Congratulations Pouring In For Cavaliers Star Donovan Mitchell originally appeared on The Spun.
