Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell discussed his August 2026 wedding to R&B singer Coco Jones and his long-standing connection to music during Tuesday’s episode of 'The Tonight Show' with Jimmy Fallon.
He described the ceremony as intimate — held in one tent for about 40 guests — followed by a larger reception tent. Mitchell joked that he wanted to invite everyone, including his third-grade teacher, while Jones preferred keeping the guest list small.

Mitchell said he began playing drums in fourth grade after experimenting with his mother’s pots and pans. He recently started DJing after Jones gave him a controller, then performed a two-hour set at the University of Louisville. He said the crowd responded well.
During the segment, he playfully told Questlove — drummer for The Roots and Fallon’s house band — “I’m coming for your job soon.” Questlove raised his drumsticks in response.
Mitchell is averaging 22.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists this season. He is 30 years old, in his 10th NBA season, and was selected 13th overall by the Denver Nuggets in the 2017 draft.
