Mitchell, donning a Browns jersey with his No. 45, took a Steelers-designed guitar and banged it on the Browns amplifier.
The guitar and amplifier pay homage to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, which is located adjacent to FirstEnergy Stadium.
Mitchell was recently traded to the Cavaliers from the Utah Jazz after months of ongoing trade talks.
Mitchell admitted that he thought he was going to wind up back in his hometown and play for the New York Knicks, but the Cavs sent Lauri Markkanen, Collin Sexton, Ochai Agbaji and three first round picks to Utah, along with two pick swaps.
