Davion Mitchell Thanks Sacramento Fans After Trade
Davion Mitchell, a former lottery pick, played a significant role during his three-year stint with the Sacramento Kings, primarily as a defensive asset. The 25-year-old guard, who saw his playing time reduce after a promising rookie year, expressed gratitude to the Kings organization and their fans after being traded to the Toronto Raptors on June 27. In an Instagram post, Mitchell thanked the city of Sacramento, his teammates, coaches, and staff, emphasizing the unforgettable memories and the honor of wearing the Kings jersey.
Mitchell’s stats with the Kings included averages of 7.4 points and 2.8 assists per game, along with a 32.7% three-point shooting rate. Known for his on-ball defensive skills, especially after a national championship-winning season at Baylor, Mitchell often took on critical defensive assignments. His trade to Toronto involved him, forward Sasha Vezenkov, and a No. 45 draft pick in exchange for Jalen McDaniels.
With hopes of more playtime, Mitchell joins a young Raptors team, potentially increasing his opportunities in the backcourt. Regardless of his new chapter, Sacramento fans are expected to welcome him warmly when he returns as a visitor.
