It's no coincidence Donovan Mitchell is married to R&B singer-songwriter Coco Jones. They share the language they both love: music.
On Tuesday night, the Cleveland Cavaliers star guard appeared as a guest on "The Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon, where he spoke about being married to the Grammy Award-winning artist.
The couple tied the knot back in August. Mitchell, who proposed to the singer in July 2025, says he "planned" the music for the wedding and joked about his idea of planning the ceremony before going into detail about how their big day was set up.
"We had two tents. She wanted a real intimate ceremony, and I was like 'I'm inviting my third grade teacher; I'm inviting everybody,'" Mitchell said.
In one tent, Mitchell says there were around 40 people for an intimate ceremony. Once attendees walked out to the left, he describes, there was a bigger tent dedicated to the wedding reception.
"That was my part of the wedding," Mitchell jokes.
What began as a conversation between Mitchell and Fallon quickly transitioned into the Cavs guard's love for music. And from what the couple danced to at their wedding -- Musiq Soulchild's "Love" -- he's got immaculate music taste.
Mitchell then shared a bit about his musical background, which consisted of him playing the drums before he ever set foot on an NBA court. He said he started playing drums in the fourth grade, with his inspiration stemming from his mom having pots and pans and him banging on the dishes to produce sound.
"I told [Questlove] I'm coming for your job soon," Mitchell said, prompting the six-time Grammy Award winner -- who anchors Fallon's house band, The Roots -- to hold up his drumsticks in a joking fashion.
Mitchell revealed that he recently got into DJing since Jones gave him a DJ controller board. He recalled going back to his alma mater, Louisville, and performing a two-hour set off the top.
"Everybody loved it," Mitchell said.
The guard is averaging 22.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists in the 2026-27 regular season, but in his downtime, music could be a calming point for the seven-time All-Star.
