Indiana Fever veteran Kelsey Mitchell hit a major milestone at All-Star Weekend, and her teammates showed up in full force.
Mitchell posted a heartfelt reflection: “Every L I took got me here.” Players like Caitlin Clark, Lexie Hull, Aliyah Boston, Natasha Howard, Makayla Timpson, A’ari McDonald, and Olivia Nelson-Ododa flooded the comments with messages:
“Inspired by you kelz” – Lexie Hull
“Proud of you kelz love your life” – Aliyah Boston
“My dawg” – Natasha Howard
“love you kelz” – Makayla Timpson
“My dawg” – A’ari McDonald
“Kels” – Olivia Nelson-Ododa
The outpouring, beyond the praise, underlined how Mitchell’s steady presence has lifted the Fever franchise. Caitlin Clark and Hull have been particularly vocal, showing admiration that goes beyond the stats.
Mitchell’s resurgence comes as the Fever recover from a 5-31 low in 2022. She returned to the All-Star spotlight with a personal best of 20 points for Caitlin Clark’s Team, including a clutch four‑pointer, in front of a sold-out Gainbridge Fieldhouse. It was her third straight All-Star nod and a statement that the Fever’s rebuild is real—and deeply personal.
Mitchell’s story is also one of loyalty. She’s the longest-tenured player on the roster, drafted second overall back in 2018. She’s stuck it out through bad records, front‑office changes, and new lineups. Now her hard work is paying off, and her teammates are making sure she gets the credit she deserves.
Caitlin Clark is racking up points while also forging strong connections with teammates who’ve shared the struggle. By cheering on Mitchell’s big night, they’re showing that hard work, belief, and sticking together really matter.
Kelsey Mitchell made sure that she wasn’t just a name on Team Clark’s roster. She became their top scorer at the All-Star Game in Indiana.
Mitchell delivered 20 points on 8-for-13 shooting, including a long-range four-pointer. She pumped up the crowd before tipoff, thanking the sold-out crowd, and cheered on teammate Lexie Hull during the 3-point contest.
Caitlin Clark’s trust in her showed: when the Fever star went down injured, she picked Mitchell as her reserve in the draft, a move that paid off. That trust led to Mitchell becoming the key scorer for Team Clark that night.
Mitchell’s leadership also reflects the group’s chemistry. As she took the spotlight, her teammates backed her fully—proving this is more than star power; it’s a team rebuilding itself around mutual belief. And in front of their home crowd, the moment felt less like All-Star flash and more like Indiana’s call to rise together.
