On Thursday, July 21, 2022, Donovan Mitchell returned to the place where he first started playing basketball, MVP Basketball Camp, in White Plains.  He addressed 200 campers, just after lunch, and told them that he was a baseball player for most of his childhood but “I found my love for the game at MVP.”  Campers from age 6-16 had a plethora of questions for the NBA All-Star.  He answered every one of them, except for the trade rumors.  Then Donovan stuck around an autographed shirts, sneakers, notebooks and numerous selfies were taken.  There was a buzz at camp throughout the afternoon and into Friday morning.

We are so thankful for Donovan’s time and interest in our camp(ers).  We hope he enjoyed his trip back to camp and we wish him all the best in the future.
