Donovan Mitchell on making sacrifices: I understood going into this season if my usage wasn't as high it could translate to winning

“I’m not shocked. Because my numbers, my usage, is not as high,” Mitchell said. “I came into the season understanding if we took this approach, that would be the sacrifice.

I kind of know what coach wants me to do. Just got to do it.”
