\n Jazz assistant Johnnie Bryant is joining the Knicks as an associate coach. Don\u2019t bank on Donovan Mitchell coming home to New York with him.<\/p>\n

Following an incredible performance in Utah\u2019s seven-game<\/a> first-round series<\/a> loss to the Nuggets, Mitchell, who shares a close relationship with Bryant, is set to finalize a max extension \u2014 worth roughly $170 million over five years \u2014 with the Jazz when free agency begins in mid-October, according to Yahoo Sports.<\/p>\n

When the NBA season was suspended, some voiced concern that the long layoff could lead to injuries, potentially jeopardizing life-changing contracts, like Mitchell was eligible to soon receive. The 23-year-old Westchester native instead cemented his place as one of the league\u2019s best young stars, averaging 36.3 points, 5 rebounds and 4.9 assists in the series, while shooting 51.5 percent on 3-pointers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce my teammates told me they wanted to play, then I was all in. I couldn\u2019t make it all about myself,\u201d Mitchell told Yahoo Sports after the devastating Game 7 loss. \u201cThere are younger guys who aren\u2019t established in this league and needed this time to show their value. It would have been selfish of me to stand in the way of that. I couldn\u2019t let my contract get in the way of the bigger picture. I had to rely on God. If I got hurt, it was God\u2019s will. But I put my trust in him and didn\u2019t worry about potentially getting injured. That allowed me to go out there and play. My faith was in God.\u201d<\/p>\n

After becoming one of four players in NBA history to score at least 50 points twice in the same playoff series, Mitchell\u2019s worst performance came in Game 7. The All-Star guard had 22 points, but shot 9-of-22, while committing nine turnovers, which included fumbling away an opportunity with the Jazz down two in the final seconds.<\/p>\n

Afterward, Mitchell cried uncontrollably, collapsing into Bryant\u2019s arms. Yahoo reported that the two embraced for several minutes, with Bryant consoling him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s two years in a row,\u201d Mitchell said to Bryant, referencing last year\u2019s first-round loss to the Rockets. \u201cWe worked too f\u2013king hard for this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to get right back to work,\u201d Mitchell told Yahoo Sports. \u201cI\u2019m not done. The Utah Jazz aren\u2019t done.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
