WNBA Turns Heads With Kelsey Mitchell Post After Wings Game

WNBA Turns Heads With Kelsey Mitchell Post After Wings Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

While Caitlin Clark gets most of the attention and Aliyah Boston is recognized as one of the league’s top centers, Indiana Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell continues to fly under the radar, but not for long.

The 29-year-old Ohio State alum has quietly been one of the steadiest scorers in the WNBA. She’s now posted 20+ points in four straight games, including a season-high 32 in Friday night’s 94-86 road win over the Dallas Wings.

Mitchell has scored in double figures in every game this season, raising her season average to 18.9 points per game.

After the win, the WNBA spotlighted Mitchell with a social media post that quickly drew reactions from fans and fellow players.

The praise came in quickly.

This fan started it out: “Yessss!!! KT is an All Star!!! 💜💜”

Another chimed in: “Kelsey Mitchell has been playing “lights out” for several games. She is truly an all star. I’ve never seen anyone who can “finish” in tight quarters under the basket like she does … and surrounded by so many much taller than she.”

“Jheeez KM🔥🙌❤️ she and AB were amazing,” posted by a fan.

More praise here: “Great performances ladies!!”

“Niceness 👏,” said by a fan.

This fan made it simple: “🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥”

Mitchell has been a staple of the Fever since being selected second overall in the 2018 WNBA Draft. She made the All-Rookie Team in her debut season and has since earned back-to-back All-Star selections.

With Caitlin Clark missing seven games this season, including the last two, Mitchell has stepped up and kept Indiana’s offense moving. The Fever now sit at 8-8 after Friday’s win.

Indiana returns to action Tuesday night, as they go against Minnesota Lynx, before opening a five-game homestand with a matchup on Thursday against the Las Vegas Aces
