Miami Heat Point Guard Davion Mitchell and Cleveland Cavaliers Shooting Guard Donovan Mitchell may share more than just a last name — but they are not related.

Despite the similarities in their names and playing styles, both NBA players have confirmed that they are not brothers, nor do they have any known familial connection.
