Donovan Mitchell’s drive intensifies with the Cavaliers after Max Strus injuryBy Canadian Press on September 29, 2025. His drive went to another gear when he heard last month Max Strus was going to be out the first two months of the season due to a broken foot. “I’m just saying I’m ready for whatever. It’s just like I’m ready to go and I understand, at the same token, it’s a long journey, too. I’m ready to go and kind of setting the tone, it’s just like, all right, you know, it’s time to go.” Besides getting engaged to singer Coco Jones, Mitchell’s star power continues to grow.
