With the Miami Heat in 2026–27, the snapshot checked November 7 shows 9 appearances, averaging 16.1 points, 1.6 rebounds and 8.2 assists. More than eight assists per game make his playmaking a notable early-season strength. Maintaining that balance of scoring and distribution over a larger sample is the next challenge.
Updated 2026-11-10Mitchell came from Baylor and was Sacramento’s ninth pick in 2021. Three seasons with the Kings were followed by Toronto and Miami during 2024–25. Those moves redistributed his backcourt responsibilities, while the career record shows a shift from a rookie with a larger scoring load toward a role emphasizing possession management and passing.
In 2025–26, he played 70 games and averaged 9.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 6.5 assists. His Miami assist production was clearly higher than in his final two Sacramento seasons, showing renewed playmaking responsibility. The career is therefore about changing backcourt assignments as well as the rise or fall of scoring.
A tied game becomes a 120–100 Warriors victory: Curry scores 29, Green delivers 11 assists and Golden State keeps its winning streak rolling.
