Kelsey Mitchell Named All-WNBA First Team as Fever Prioritize Her Return

Indiana has made retaining the All-WNBA guard its offseason priority following her franchise-record scoring year.

Overview

  • Kelsey Mitchell capped a career-best season with her first All-WNBA First Team selection after averaging 20.2 points per game, a Fever record.
  • Mitchell posted an emotional season wrap on Instagram that drew supportive messages from Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, Sophie Cunningham and Natasha Howard.
  • She helped Indiana reach a five-game semifinal against the Aces, averaging 22.3 points in the playoffs before exiting Game 5 with rhabdomyolysis-related cramping; she is recovering.
  • Caitlin Clark, who missed the second half of the season with a groin injury, publicly praised Mitchell’s leadership as she shouldered the offense.
  • General manager Amber Cox said re-signing Mitchell is the team’s top offseason goal as the guard enters free agency.
