Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell believes his team is a championship contender when healthy, per comments made to Marc J. Spears of Andscape in an interview published Friday.
"We're championship contenders when we're healthy. I feel like last year we grew in a lot of ways. We played a lot of different ways. Now during that stretch, we went on, obviously D.G. [Darius Garland] and Evan [Mobley] were hurt. But we found something that really can help bring us to the next level. So now the trick is how do we continue to implement that style of play over 82 [regular-season games] and then the final 16 [playoff] wins.
