Mark Mitchell declines Nuggets training camp offer to return to Missouri

Summary

Missouri forward Mark Mitchell has turned down an Exhibit 10 contract offer from the Denver Nuggets to return to college basketball. Mitchell went undrafted in the most recent draft but participated in the team’s Summer League roster. The Exhibit 10 deal would have provided a bonus for Mitchell to join the Nuggets G League affiliate for the upcoming season. Instead of pursuing professional play, he has re-enrolled at Missouri. Reports previously indicated he might transfer to Kentucky, but he has opted to remain with his current program. Mitchell now seeks to play a disputed fifth college season.
