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.
