SALT LAKE CITY — As if he needed another reason for Utah to love him, Jazz star Donovan Mitchell spontaneously paid the iPhone repair costs for a customer in the Apple store who couldn't afford the price Wednesday.
Twitter user Andrew Simeona posted a tweet early the next morning about the incident, which he said happened to his brother.
I have a brother that’s a little delayed in his development.
