The Utah Jazz announced Sunday that Quin Snyder would be stepping down as head coach after eight seasons with the team. The departure of Snyder is already having ripple effects on the Jazz's outlook for the 2022-23 NBA season. According to NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, Jazz star Donovan Mitchell now faces an uncertain future with the team following Snyder's sudden decision to step down.

Woj indicates that Mitchell has grown “unsettled” with the situation in Utah, wondering what Snyder's ousting “means for the franchise's future.”

Mitchell has been the subject of various trade rumors ever since the Jazz were eliminated in the first round of the NBA Playoffs by the Dallas Mavericks. Mitchell struggled in the series, and Utah's overall disappointing season led to rumors of a potential divorce from Utah involving him and Rudy Gobert.

The star guard has long been linked with a potential trade to the New York Knicks, who are expected to pursue a star player this offseason. Whether or not that comes to fruition remains to be seen, but it's certainly interesting to note that Mitchell is feeling “unnerved” over the departure of Snyder, who has been his head coach since he was drafted in 2017.

“Mitchell considered Snyder a significant part of his reasoning for committing to a five-year maximum contract extension in 2020, and Snyder's decision to step away on Sunday has left Mitchell “surprised and disappointed,” said Wojnarowski via ESPN.

Perhaps with Snyder gone, Mitchell feels that this is the opportune time for a fresh start. The Jazz have been linked to a handful of replacement head coaches already, but considering Mitchell has a close relationship with Snyder, it comes as no surprise that this decision is having a significant impact on the 25-year-old.
