The Fever star, who is clearly in the prime of her career, was recently recognized by the WNBA after the Indiana Fever announced that she has officially reached 4,000 career points.
"Well-deserved recognition," posted the official social media account of the WNBA. "Kelsey Mitchell honored for hitting 4,000 career points vs. Atlanta last game! WNBA Commissioner's Cup presented by @coinbase."
The WNBA mentioned that Mitchell achieved the feat in their most recent matchup against the Atlanta Dream, where Indiana lost 77-58. Mitchell finished that game with 11 points, one rebound and one assist.
