Davion Mitchell on being a part of the Sacramento Kings’ leadership council

Second-year guard Davion Mitchell spoke to the media following Thursday’s practice as the third-seed Sacramento Kings prepared for a crucial game against the Phoenix Suns that will take place on Friday night at Golden 1 Center.

Mitchell spoke about being included in Sacramento’s leadership council–a four-person group of Kings players that also includes De’Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis, and Harrison Barnes–and shared his thoughts on the team’s status as they close in on clinching its first playoff berth since the 2005-06 season.

In his second season with the Kings, Mitchell is averaging 5.7 points and 2.2 assists per game while shooting 46 percent from the field and 34 percent from three-point range.

With 10 games remaining in the regular season, the Sacramento Kings are closing in on clinching its first playoff berth since 2006.

Can the Suns and/or Clippers catch the Kings in the standings? Is home-court advantage in the bag?
