Kelsey Mitchell Named All-WNBA First Team as Fever Signal Plan to Keep Star

Public praise from Caitlin Clark and teammates underscores Indiana’s cohesion as contract decisions loom under an expiring CBA.

Overview

  • Mitchell capped a breakout year with her first All-WNBA First Team selection after setting a Fever record at 20.2 points per game and reportedly leading the league with 111 made 3-pointers.
  • Following Mitchell’s emotional season-finale Instagram post, Caitlin Clark commented that she was “so lucky to be” her teammate and “proud” of her.
  • The Fever took the eventual champion Aces to a decisive Game 5 in the semifinals, where Mitchell exited with rhabdomyolysis-related cramping before later recovering.
  • General manager Amber Cox said re-signing the unrestricted free agent is the club’s top offseason priority after her pivotal 2025 campaign.
  • Sophie Cunningham is rehabbing an MCL tear and says she will consider other teams in free agency, with only Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Makayla Timpson under contract for 2026 as the CBA nears expiration.
