Donovan Mitchell hit with random PED test, league said 71-point performance shouldn’t have happened
Donovan Mitchell’s 71-point performance on Monday night didn’t come without a cost.
The Cleveland Cavaliers star was hit with a performance-enhancing drug test on Tuesday, he said on Twitter. The team confirmed the test to ESPN.
Now, tests are a normal occurrence for players through the league. They are usually hit with four random PED tests during the season, and then two more during the offseason. The key word there, though, is random.
While there’s no real way to prove otherwise, a test coming just hours after Mitchell’s historic performance certainly doesn’t feel random — which is likely why Mitchell found it so funny.
Mitchell led the Cavaliers back from a 21-point hole to beat the Chicago Bulls in overtime on Monday night with his franchise-record 71 points. That marked the most scored in a single game in the league since Los Angeles Lakers icon Kobe Bryant dropped 81 points against the Toronto Raptors in 2006. Mitchell’s performance was the eighth-highest scoring game in league history, and the most scored by anyone this season.
“It’s humbling. I’m speechless to be honest with you when you say that,” Mitchell said. “I think for me, not only did I do that but I did it in an effort where we came back and won. And it’s how we won. That’s really what, for me, it’s like man, this is nuts … I’m extremely blessed, humbled that I’m in that company, in that group.”
NBA: Donovan Mitchell’s 71 points shouldn’t have happened
Though it can’t be rescinded, the NBA said on Tuesday that Mitchell’s 71-point performance shouldn’t have actually happened.
Mitchell sent the game into overtime after he purposefully missed a free throw and tipped it back in in the final seconds on Monday night. The sequence was incredible.
Yet on Wednesday, the NBA said that Mitchell actually stepped into the foul lane early — which should have voided his basket and given the Bulls the win.
“One, it’s a clear violation,” Bulls coach Billy Donovan said after the game. “Unequivocally, he’s crossing the line on the basket before the ball ever touches the rim. That’s the first thing … And he just shot it and really kind of beat Patrick. And I think part of the reason why he beat Patrick is because he went in there too early.”
But, as that wasn’t called in the moment, there’s nothing that can be done.
Mitchell then dropped 13 points in overtime to get to 71 and take the win.
Donovan Mitchell’s miraculous record-setting basket Monday night shouldn’t have counted, NBA says
CLEVELAND, Ohio — NBA history shouldn’t have been made on Monday night.
At least, that’s what the NBA said after video review of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 145-134 come-from-behind overtime win against the Chicago Bulls.
According to the NBA’s Last Two Minute Report — the league’s assessment of officiated events that occurred in the last two minutes of games that were at or within three points during any point in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter (and overtime, where applicable) — there were two incorrect calls. Both of them in Cleveland’s favor.

Dissecting Donovan Mitchell’s historic 71-point performance: Behind the numbers
The most notable and controversial came on Mitchell’s record-setting putback — a remarkable layup following a missed free throw that gave him a franchise-record 58 points and sent the game into OT.
With 4.6 seconds remaining and the Cavs trailing by two points, Mitchell deliberately missed his second freebie, darted toward the lane, collected his own rebound in midair and flipped in the basket.
A review of that play by the league on Tuesday afternoon showed that Mitchell stepped over the plane of the free throw line before the ball touched the basket — a violation of NBA rules.
Mitchell should’ve been called for a lane violation, negating the basket, keeping the Cavs behind by two and putting Mitchell at 56 points — one off his career-high and Cleveland’s single-game record that was previously shared by LeBron James and Kyrie Irving.

Because the three-person officiating crew — Tony Brothers, JB DeRosa and Suyash Mehta — allowed the play to proceed in real time without a whistle, Mitchell’s magical moment counted and the game went into overtime, where Mitchell scored 13 more points, bringing his total to 71.
He became just the seventh player in NBA history to tally more than 70 points in a game — and first since Phoenix Suns swingman Devin Booker on March 24, 2017. Mitchell’s 71 points are tied with Elgin Baylor and David Robinson for the eighth-highest total in a single game in NBA history. It’s the most points scored in the NBA this season. Mitchell’s previous regular-season best was 46, hitting that number three times with the Jazz. He tallied 57 in the Bubble.
According to the NBA, none of that should’ve happened.
The only other incorrect call to appear on the Last Two Minute Report came moments earlier. With Cleveland down 128-125, and a little more than 10 seconds remaining, Mitchell drove right of the lane and dished to center Jarrett Allen under the hoop. The sequence ended with Allen’s jump-hook in the lane that cut Chicago’s lead to one point.
Only Allen should’ve been called for a travel.
The league said he lifted and re-planted his pivot foot before releasing the ball. Had that play been ruled correctly, the Bulls would’ve been in possession with a three-point lead.
The Last Two Minute Report assesses all calls and notable non-calls. According to the league’s definition, notable non-calls are generally defined as material plays directly related to the outcome of a possession. Similar to the instant replay standards, there must be clear and conclusive video evidence in order to make a determination that a play was incorrectly officiated. In this case, both misses qualified under those parameters.
Nonetheless, nothing changes in the official record book. Can’t rewrite history. The Cavs still won. Mitchell still joined the 70-point club. And he still became the Cavaliers’ single-game scoring recordholder, passing James and Irving.

Donovan Mitchell reflects on time in Utah before first game against Jazz: ‘It was just draining on my energy’
No NBA city is perfect, but the one market that consistently seems to create issues between players and fans is Salt Lake City. The Utah Jazz have played there for over four decades, but a common thread in that time has been players voicing frustrations about the actions of the fan base there. Both Russell Westbrook and Ja Morant have had run-ins with those fans in recent years, but even Utah players themselves have struggled in their interactions with them.
Donovan Mitchell is one such player. He spent the first five seasons of his career in Utah, but now that he’s a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers, he’s opening up about the way he was treated by fans in his original NBA city.
“It’s no secret there’s a lot of stuff that I dealt with being in Utah off the floor,” Mitchell told Andscaped’s Marc J. Spears. “If I’m being honest with you, I never really said this, but it was draining. It was just draining on my energy just because you can’t sit in your room and cheer for me and then do all these different things. I’m not saying specifically every fan, but I just feel like it was a lot of things. A [Utah] state senator [Stuart Adams] saying I need to get educated on my own Black history. Seeing Black kids getting bullied because of their skin color. Seeing a little girl [Isabella Tichenor] hang herself because she’s being bullied.”

Now that Mitchell is playing in the more diverse Cleveland, he called it “a blessing to be back around people that look like me.” He also told the story of a particularly stressful interaction with a police officer. “I got pulled over once. I got an attitude from a cop until I gave him my ID,” Mitchell explained. “And that forever made me wonder what happens to the young Black kid in Utah that doesn’t have that power to just be like, ‘This is who I am.’ And that was one of the things for me that I took to heart.”
Sadly, racism exists in every NBA market, and really, all across the United States. It can’t be avoided entirely. But Mitchell’s stories about Utah are hardly exclusive to his experience there. Many players have expressed issues with the fans in Salt Lake City. Mitchell is happy to have found a new home, but it’s unfortunate that he had to deal with these issues in the first place.

Donovan Mitchell speaks of ‘draining’ Utah experience, then leads Cavs in blowout of Jazz
Donovan Mitchell led the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday to a 122-99 win over the Utah Jazz team that traded him this offseason.
Prior to the game, he opened up to Andscape’s Marc J. Spears about his time in Salt Lake City and his relationship with former teammate Rudy Gobert. He told Spears in an interview published Monday that “we did a lot of special things” while acknowledging that a Jazz team led by himself and Gobert that never advanced to the Western Conference finals fell short of expectations.
“Basketball just didn’t work out,” Mitchell said of his relationship with Gobert.
Mitchell, who played five seasons in Utah, also spoke about the challenges of being a Black athlete in a predominantly white city, an experience that he says has shifted for him in Cleveland. He described his experience in Utah as “draining.”
“If I’m being honest with you, I never really said this, but it was draining,” Mitchell told Spears. “It was just draining on my energy just because you can’t sit in your room and cheer for me and then do all these different things.”
Mitchell cited an incident that saw 10-year-old Isabella Tichenor take her own life amid bullying allegations. He also referenced Utah state senator Stuart Adams, who suggested that Mitchell needed to be educated after Mitchell spoke out against a critical race theory resolution in the state legislature.
“I’m not saying specifically every fan, but I just feel like it was a lot of things. A state senator saying I need to get educated on my own Black history. Seeing Black kids getting bullied because of their skin color. Seeing a little girl hang herself because she’s being bullied.”
Mitchell called pushback against his advocacy for racial equality “a lot” and said that it was tough to not see many Black people in the stands at Jazz home games.
“And then to be able to not see many of us in the crowd, I tried my best to make sure I invite young Black and brown kids to games, to be around the community,” Mitchell continued. “But just to not see us there, it was definitely tough.
“And being in Cleveland now, you see us courtside. It’s just refreshing. It’s a blessing to be back around people that look like me.”
The change of scenery has suited Mitchell. He led the Cavs with 23 points in just 23 minutes on Monday and rested on the bench during the fourth quarter of the blowout win. He hit 4 of 5 3-pointers while shooting 8 of 12 from the field. The effort has become the norm since the trade with Mitchell averaging a career-best 29.5 points per game while shooting 50.3% from the field and 42.4% from 3-point distance. His performance is drawing MVP buzz.
Monday’s victory improved the Cavs to 21-11, including an NBA-best 15-2 at home. After the game, Mitchell kept the conversation about basketball while acknowledging that “it’s different when you’re playing against your friends, the guys you’ve been in a locker room with, battled with.”
Monday’s game was in Cleveland. He expects the Jan. 10 rematch in his return to Utah to hit differently.
“Always good to play against your guys,” Mitchell told reporters. “I think the bigger game will probably be when we go back out there.”
Also worth circling on the calendar: Jan. 14 against the Minnesota Timberwolves. It will be Mitchell’s first chance to face off against Gobert, whom the Jazz also traded in the offseason. Mitchell missed a Nov. 13 matchup in Cleveland with an ankle sprain.
“I’m going to give him a hug and be happy to see him,” Mitchell told Spears of Gobert. “And I wish him the best. There’s no hatred. There’s no ill will towards any of that.”
