Davion Mitchell of the Miami Heat isn’t just quick, he’s relentless. Did you know his former associate Head Coach at Baylor, Jerome Tang, dubbed him Off Night? Why?

With that, he helped lead the Baylor Bears to the 2021 NCAA championship. It’s undeniable how good he is. And once he was drafted into the NBA, his skills guaranteed him a hefty paycheck. So let’s see what kind of dough the Heat star is raking in as of this year!

What is Davion Mitchell’s salary and his net worth?
Believe it or not, Davion Mitchell is still playing under the rookie contract he signed all the way back in 2021! But don’t think the Kings shortchanged him with this deal. Nope! He signed a $20.9 million, 4-year rookie deal with the Sacramento Kings after they drafted him.
He’s been on this contract ever since, with the club options in his final two years being exercised by the Kings. But now that he’s at the Heat, there’s something that may worry you, Miami fans. Mitchell will become a free agent if he doesn’t resign from the Heat this summer! While there is a clause that prohibits the Raptors from reacquiring him till 2026, there are still 29 other teams who’ll be vying for his signature.

Davion Mitchell is a member of the Curry Brand family, and both he and Steph couldn’t be happier about it!

“Watching him wear my signature shoe this season has been surreal and I’m excited to team up with him now as part of the Curry Brand family,” said Fox when Davion signed with the brand. And thanks to Fox, Davion Mitchell now receives player-exclusive sneakers and wears Curry Brand shoes during his games.
Davion Mitchell has seen a lot of success in his career so far. Be it high school or college, he’s been a champion everywhere he’s gone. But despite his financial windfalls after joining the NBA, one thing still eludes him. And that’s the coveted NBA title. But given his talent and dedication, we’re sure Davion will add one or two of those to his trophy cabinet when all is said and done!
