Big night for the guard in a blowout loss.
While much of the Indiana Fever’s spotlight remains on Caitlin Clark and her road to recovery, Kelsey Mitchell gave fans something else to cheer for on Wednesday night.
Kelsey Mitchell passes Tamika Catchings for franchise 3-point record
Despite a tough first half against the New York Liberty, Mitchell delivered a milestone moment, etching her name into Fever history. The veteran guard scored 13 points before halftime on 4-of-8 shooting, including two three-pointers. Those shots pushed her past franchise legend Tamika Catchings for the most made three-pointers in Fever history.
Mitchell entered the night with 605 career makes from downtown, just one shy of Catchings’ record of 606. She wasted no time breaking through and now holds the new mark with 607, and counting.
The team proudly acknowledged the achievement on social media, posting, “FRANCHISE RECORD. Kelsey Mitchell has passed Tamika Catchings for the most three-pointers made in franchise history.”
