In the 2024 WNBA season, Kelsey Mitchell, a guard for the Indiana Fever, concluded her seventh year in the league with remarkable achievements. Teaming up with Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston, she played a pivotal role in securing the Fever’s first playoff appearance since 2016. Her stellar performance led to her second WNBA All-Star selection, and she set career-highs in points per game (19.2) and field goal percentage (46.8%).
Mitchell’s success didn’t go unnoticed, with the Fever celebrating her contributions on social media, referring to her as a “certified bucket.” One of her standout moments was setting an Indiana record with seven consecutive games of 20 or more points, further establishing her as one of the league’s top scorers. Throughout the post-Olympic stretch, Mitchell continued to elevate her game, helping the Fever compete at a higher level.
Ahead of the 2022 season, Mitchell signed a three-year, $618,000 contract extension with Indiana, but as her contract now comes to an end, she enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent. While Fever GM Linn Dunn is keen on bringing Mitchell back, negotiations are being handled by the team’s newly appointed president of basketball and business operations, Kelly Krauskopf, who has a long history with the organization.
Mitchell’s record-breaking season and her future with the Fever remain a topic of interest as she explores free agency, with fans and management alike hoping to see her return in 2025.
