Restricted free agent Davion Mitchell intends to sign a two-year, $24 million deal to return to the Miami Heat, sources told ESPN.
Heat officials and Mitchell’s agent, Josh Beauregard-Bell of Wasserman, negotiated the new fully guaranteed contract.
Mitchell, who turns 27 in September, had a strong finish to his year following a midseason trade to the Heat, averaging 10.3 points while shooting 50.4% from the field and 44.7% from 3 in 30 games in Miami.
Mitchell was a top 10 pick in 2021 by the Sacramento Kings but was moved to Toronto last summer after his minutes declined for the second straight season.
Nicknamed “Off-Night” for his prodigious defense against opposing stars, Mitchell also flashed the kind of playmaking and shooting with the Heat that will keep him on the court going forward.
