The Cleveland Cavaliers are climbing the NBA rankings after an undefeated first week, led by the continued excellence of Donovan Mitchell and the noticeable improvement of point guard Darius Garland. The Cavs most recently earned a road win against the New York Knicks, a team that has tormented them in recent years, dating back to the 2023 playoff series between the two teams, which the Knicks won in five games.

Although Mitchell is busy on the field, he also takes the time to give back to his community and recently demonstrated this by running the Donovan Mitchell Family Athletic Center at Greenwich Country Day School in Greenwich, Connecticut, according to Greenwich Time's Jessica Simms , has opened. Mitchell graduated from the school in 2012 and the new athletic center is nicknamed DON, which stands for Determination over Negativity.

Mitchell showed up at the center's opening and even fired the first shot.
