This is the fourth time Mitchell has won the award since joining the Cavs. That ties him for second in franchise history for the weekly award with Kyrie Irving . LeBron James is the franchise leader, being named Player of the Week an eye-popping 42 times while he played for Cleveland.
On Saturday, Mitchell sank a late jumper against the Milwaukee Bucks to give the Cavaliers a 114-113 win.
The Cavs are one of two NBA teams to remain undefeated this season with the Oklahoma City Thunder being the other.
