Relationship between Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert

During the hiatus, there were whispers that Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert’s relationship was “unsalvagable.” So much so that many questioned whether if a breakup was on the horizon, not matter how the 2019-20 season would end.

But as the bubble began, the two have been vocal about their relationship being reconciled and showed it on the court throughout the seeding games and first round of the playoffs.

Although no one really knows for sure if their relationship is completely repaired, the two had an undeniable connection on the court and looked like the dynamic duo the league has become used to seeing. With Mitchell’s contract extension talks heating up, I think it’s fair to say the two will be alright and have moved forward from the drama back in March.
