Tuesday night, Donovan Mitchell returns to Utah for the first time since his trade to Cleveland. There should be a standing ovation, Tjonesonthenba writes. He deserves it for several important reasons.
.They also made me uncomfortable. As someone who is raising two daughters, as someone who is proud of my Blackness, some of the same things that got under Mitchell’s skin, they got under my skin, as well.That being said, I’ve had a mostly wonderful experience living in Utah for 15 years. My oldest is now a freshman in college. My youngest will enter high school next year. My youngest has spent all of her life in Utah, is well adjusted, has great friends.
The elephant in the room is this: As wonderful an experience as I’ve had here, as much as I love my job and the state as a whole, Utah has a racism issue. The sooner we can admit it’s an issue, the sooner we can tackle the issues like human beings and exact real and meaningful change. Mitchell is a unique case among Jazz players past and future because he sought to make real and meaningful change, and that just wasn’t a battle he was going to win on his own.
Mitchell became uncomfortable in Utah. That’s through no fault of the Jazz themselves, who did everything they could and then some to make sure he was happy. I don’t think either side deserves a ton of blame that the partnership ultimately didn’t work out. But here’s what should happen on Tuesday night. A standing ovation for Mitchell. And then another one when Utah honors him with a tribute video. And then, Jazz fans, root like heck for your team to win.unceremoniously left in free agency — and leading the Jazz shockingly to the second round of the playoffs in his rookie season.
He deserves it for his performance in the bubble, one of the great performances ever by a guard in a playoff series. He deserves it for representing the Jazz well on a national level. He deserves it for his professionalism once it became clear that he and the Jazz were going to part ways.
