Donovan Mitchell greeted by 200-300 friends and family in hometown New York; Ricky Rubio flies 12-year-old cancer patient from Spain for the game

Joe Ingles took his time in the shower, answered all of the postgame questions from reporters and even encouraged a few more. Sure, he was the last person in the Jazz’s locker room, but he wasn’t worried.

That’s because Mitchell invited “200-300” friends, family, former teammates and more to Wednesday’s Jazz/Knicks game, making his homecoming to the area in which he grew up. Of course, mom Nicole and sister Jordan were part of the group, but so were many more from Mitchell’s 20 years in the area.

Mitchell’s more comfortable than he was in his previous visits to New York.
