Windhorst On Donovan Mitchell: 'I Do Not Expect Him To Sign An Extension' This Summer

Sep 22, 2023 1:39 AM

Brian Windhorst said he does not expect Donovan Mitchell to sign an extension with the Cleveland Cavaliers this summer, though he added that the decision should not necessarily cause panic.

"I do not expect him to sign an extension with the Cavs this summer, nor do I expect that to cause a major alarm," said Windhorst on ESPN.

Mitchell, who has two years left on his contract, will be eligible for a three-year extension next summer. 

"How Donovan ... explains his decision process will be very important for the Cleveland Cavaliers, their fans, and potentially other teams out there who may be interested in making a trade," added Windhorst about Mitchell's appearance at the upcoming media day. 

Mitchell is not eligible to receive a supermax contract as a result of getting traded to the Cavs.

Sep 16, 2023 1:20 PM

Koby Altman was arrested Friday night and charged with operating a vehicle while impaired. Altman became general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2017 and elevated to president of basketball operations in January 2022.

Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers stopped Altman just before 9 p.m. in Cleveland. He was charged with "committing a marked lanes violation and OVI."

"Troopers initiated a traffic stop and during their interaction with the driver indicators of impairment were observed," the OSHP said, according to multiple reports. "The driver was subsequently placed under arrest for OVI and soon after offered a breath test which he refused."

Police noted that Altman was "respectful and cooperative with troopers."

"We are aware of an incident involving Cavaliers President of Basketball Operations Koby Altman," the Cavaliers said in a statement Saturday. "We are currently gathering more information and have no further comment at this time."

Altman turned 41 on Saturday.
