The rest of the squad has had ot step up with their best player sidelined, but there has been no bigger player over the past week than two-time All-Star Kelsey Mitchell.
The 5-foot-8 guard led Indiana to back-to-back wins over the Washington Mystics and the Chicago Sky with averages of 20.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.
On Tuesday, the WNBA announced that Mitchell has been named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week.

"so deserving," Boston wrote.
Boston has also had to step her game up in Clark's absence, and she, too, has been pivotal to Indiana's recent success. However, there's no denying that it has been Mitchell who has led the charge for the Fever's shorthanded backcourt.
Indiana will need more of the same from Mitchell, Boston and the rest of the squad on Tuesday as they take on the Dream in Atlanta. The Dream are currently third in the WNBA with a 5-3 record and are looking to bounce back following their 84-76 loss to the Connecticut Sun on Friday.
The Fever, however, have momentum on their side, and they are out to prove that they can keep their winning streak alive despite one of their star players sidelined.
