Indiana Fever's Gesture for Kelsey Mitchell is Turning Heads
Indiana Fever's Gesture for Kelsey Mitchell is Turning Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When most fans think of the Indiana Fever, they think of star guard Caitlin Clark. But there's more to the team than just her. Fellow guard Kelsey Mitchell has been a big piece for Indiana since the organization drafted her No. 2 overall in the 2018 WNBA Draft. Advertisement Mitchell entered Saturday's contest against the New York Liberty, averaging 16.7 points, 1.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. She's also the highest-paid player in the WNBA this season, playing on a one-year, $249,244 deal. The Fever were looking to get back to .500 on the season with a win Saturday, and before tip-off, the team brought Mitchell out to center court for a special moment. Indiana Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell poses for a photo. © Grace Smith/IndyStar / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images She was joined by general manager and chief operating officer Amber Cox, along with head coach Stephanie White, who presented her with a commemorative basketball to celebrate surpassing 4,000 career points. Mitchell reached that milestone in Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Dream. Fans on social media saw the video the Fever posted of the moment and shared their reactions. Advertisement "Yeah KELZ!!!!!!!!!!!" one fan said. "Congratulations Kelsey!" another wrote. "Well overdue! Give @Kelz_Hoop her flowers!!" added another. "yes kelz!!!" wrote a fan. "Congrats Kelsey!" one said. "Mitchell hitting 4k points? Legend status confirmed," a fan added. Mitchell, 29, is a two-time WNBA All-Star and earned a spot on the WNBA All-Rookie Team in 2018. The 5-foot-8 guard has spent her entire eight-year WNBA career in Indiana after playing college basketball at Ohio State. While in Columbus, she was named an AP first-team All-American.

Fever waives guard ahead of Caitlin Clark's return
The post Fever waives guard ahead of Caitlin Clark's return appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Indiana Fever announced that Caitlin Clark is returning to the lineup for Saturday's contest against the New York Liberty. With the star guard finally back in action, the team was forced to release a player from the roster to make room for Clark. Advertisement Guard Aari McDonald is being released by the Fever. Indiana explains that the decision was made to meet the WNBA's 10-player roster minimum and the league's emergency hardship exception requirements. McDonald played three games for the Fever during Caitlin Clark's absence. She played rather well in that three-game stretch, averaging 11.0 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game. The 26-year-old guard also shot a 42.9% field goal percentage and was 37.5% from beyond the arc. Indiana is the third team McDonald has played for so far in her five years in the WNBA. She began her career playing three full seasons with the Atlanta Dream before playing for the Los Angeles Sparks in the 2024 campaign. After showing off her skills for three games with the Fever, she could find a new opportunity with a different team at some point this season. Advertisement Caitlin Clark returns after missing five games. She sustained a quad strain in her left leg during the Fever's 90-88 loss to the Liberty on May 24. Clark played that entire contest and initially informed head coach Stephanie White that something was off about her left quad. In the four games Clark has played, the 23-year-old guard has averaged 19.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 9.3 assists per game. She's also averaged 1.3 steals per game while shooting 40.3% from the floor and 31.4% from deep. Those are numbers the Fever will be glad to have back for the remainder of the season. You can catch Caitlin Clark's return to the court on Saturday when the Fever take on the Liberty at 3 p.m. EST. Clark's first game back from injury will be in front of the home crowd.

Fever's Caitlin Clark keeps it real on her injury absence
The post Fever's Caitlin Clark keeps it real on her injury absence appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Indiana Fever are set to take on the New York Liberty on Saturday. It's the first game since May 24 where the team will have Caitlin Clark return from injury. The star guard opened up about what it's been like nursing the injury with media members on Friday. Advertisement After the Fever's practice, the 23-year-old guard admitted she's still shaking off some of the rust upon her return, according to Chloe Peterson of Indy Star Sports. The practices leading up to her return have done just that. 'Yeah, I'm really excited. It's definitely been a process. I think the hardest part is when you, like, begin to feel really good, then it's just a process of working yourself back into actually getting up and down, and getting out there with my teammates. Obviously, it can be a little difficult at the same time, when they're prepping for their games, and I know I'm not going to be available.' The Fever have gone 2-3 in the five games without Caitlin Clark. She's bouncing back from a left quad strain that's kept her out for several weeks. Indiana will be glad to have the 2024 Rookie of the Year back in the lineup, as before the injury, she was averaging 19.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 9.3 assists per game while shooting 40.3% from the field and 31.4% from the three-point line. Advertisement To bring Caitlin Clark back to the roster, the Fever were forced to release guard Aari McDonald from the roster. She was a nice fill-in for Indiana. But with Clark returning for Saturday's contest, the club felt it was best to cut the 26-year-old guard. It'll be interesting to see how Clark performs in her first game back. Ironically enough, the last team Clark played against was the Liberty. She finished that contest with 18 points, five rebounds, and 10 assists.
