The 20-year-old Mitchell, who started all four seasons for the 2023–24 Blue Devils and averaged 11.6 points and 6.0 rebounds, is expected to use the transfer portal, according to a report from On3’s Joe Tipton on Tuesday afternoon. A few minutes afterward, the 6-foot-9, 230-pound powerhouse officially made his introduction, according to 24/7 High School Hoops.
The McDonald’s All-American and five-star talent from Kansas City made his way to Durham, where he started every game as a freshman. Throughout his tenure with the Blue Devils, he shot 31.9 percent from outside the arc but only 50.5 percent from the field, averaging 10.3 points and 5.2 rebounds a game.
His departure seems to suggest that Duke basketball head coach Jon Scheyer and his staff will likely welcome back forwards Sean Stewart and TJ Power, who exhibited signs of improvement this past season as rookies in backup roles.
Mark Mitchell becomes the second Duke basketball talent to enter the transfer portal this offseason. Reserve center Christian Reeves, who played sparingly as a freshman and in only three games as a sophomore before redshirting following season-ending ankle surgery in January, reported his decision to seek an opportunity elsewhere last week.
