Davion Mitchell has been traded from the Toronto Raptors to the Miami Heat in exchange for PJ Tucker, a second-round pick, and cash. Mitchell, who was the ninth overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, has shown promise during his time with the Raptors, where he averaged 6.3 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 4.6 assists while shooting 43.4% from the field this season. With the Heat, who currently sit sixth in the Eastern Conference, Mitchell is expected to contribute significantly.

The Raptors have made notable moves, acquiring both Brandon Ingram and PJ Tucker, effectively increasing their payroll in the process. Trading Mitchell allows them to receive two second-round picks, which indicates a strategic approach to reshaping their roster.
