Miami Heat Agree Two-Year $24M Deal with Davion Mitchell

Davion Mitchell, a 26-year-old guard, has agreed to a two-year, $24 million fully guaranteed contract to stay with the Miami Heat as a restricted free agent. After being traded midseason from the Toronto Raptors, where he struggled for playing time, Mitchell quickly became a key contributor in Miami, averaging 10.3 points, 5.3 assists, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game while shooting career-best percentages from the field and three-point range. His strong defensive play and offensive resurgence—especially highlighted during the playoffs where he averaged 15 points and 6.3 assists per game—secured his role as a vital member of the Heat rotation. The new deal, negotiated between the Heat and Mitchell’s agent, rewards his turnaround season after nearly being relegated to a minimum contract role in Toronto. Mitchell’s journey underscores the impact of a change in environment and opportunity, transforming from a bench player to a playoff standout. The contract reflects Miami’s confidence in his continued contributions on both ends of the court.
