Morning links: Donovan Mitchell expresses his love for Utah — 'I don't need the big market to be happy'

SALT LAKE CITY — Donovan Mitchell isn’t shy about sharing his appreciation for Utah.

The Utah Jazz star expressed it again while appearing on the LightHarted Podcast with Josh Hart posted Wednesday.

“People make fun of Utah nightlife, but it’s actually dope. I love it. I love everything about being in Utah. I’ll never change it. I don’t need the big market to be happy,” Mitchell told Hart and fellow co-host Matt Hillman.

In the same segment, Mitchell mentioned former Weber State guard Damian Lillard, now an All-Star with the Portland Trail Blazers, as an example of someone who’s thriving in a smaller market.
