One person who wished him a happy birthday was Cavs All-Star Donovan Mitchell.
Mitchell (via his Instagram story): “@carislevert Happy Birthday Brodie ‼️‼️‼️”
LeVert and Mitchell have been teammates for two seasons.
During that time, they helped the Cavs become one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.
Last season, they were seeded fourth with a 48-34 record.
The Cavs beat the Orlando Magic in seven games to reach the second round of the NBA playoffs for the first time since the 2018 season (when LeBron James was still with the franchise).
However, they struggled with injuries and lost to Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics in five games.

His career averages are 14.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, while shooting 43.4 percent from the field and 34.1 percent from three-point range in 460 regular-season games.
He also appeared in 25 NBA playoff games (ten starts) with the Cavs and Nets.
