While much of the focus on the Indiana Fever is on Caitlin Clark and her immediate future after her latest injury, Kelsey Mitchell provided fans a reason to celebrate and be optimistic about their future.
On Wednesday, against the New York Liberty, Mitchell made history with her hot start for the Fever. While Indiana struggled and trailed 53-38 in the first half, the All-Star guard was sensational with 13 points on 4-of-8 shooting.
Mitchell also made two 3-pointers out of four attempts, which allowed her to claim the record for the most triples in franchise history.
The 29-year-old scorer entered the game with 605 career 3-pointers with the Fever, just one behind Tamika Catchings' tally of 606.
"FRANCHISE RECORD," the Fever wrote to celebrate Mitchell's achievement. "Kelsey Mitchell has passed Tamika Catchings for the most three-pointers made in franchise history with 607 and counting."
