Johnnie Bryant is reuniting with Donovan Mitchell, but not in the way the Knicks imagined.
Bryant, the Knicks associate head coach for the last four seasons, is leaving to join the Cavaliers for the same position under new head coach Kenny Atkinson , a source confirmed.
Bryant had worked closely with Mitchell as an assistant with the Jazz, and his Knicks hiring in 2020 — which was facilitated, according to a source, through executive William Wesley — was seen as a way to entice the All-Star guard to New York.
“I love [Bryant]to death, man,” Mitchell told The Athletic before Bryant went to the Knicks. “He’s a guy who wants me to be the best. I met him in Summer League, and I had already heard a lot about him. In three years (with the Jazz), he’s pushed me past my limits. He doesn’t tell me what I want to hear. He tells me what I need to hear. I just can’t say enough about him and how much he’s helped me.”
