Caitlin Clark & Kelsey Mitchell DROP BOMBSHELL Statement After Indiana Fever Playoff Elimination
It looks like Kelsey Mitchell, a key player for the Indiana Fever and teammate of Caitlyn Clark, just dropped a cryptic message on Instagram. Could this hint at some big changes ahead? Let’s dive in.
The Indiana Fever are gearing up to build on their success from the 2024 season. However, there’s some uncertainty surrounding Kelsey Mitchell’s future with the team. Just this morning, I posted a video breaking down the Fever’s free agency situation, but I had no idea Kelsey had shared a mysterious message that could suggest she’s considering a change.
Now, I’m not saying it’s a done deal, but the vibes are definitely there. Kelsey’s post got a lot of attention, especially since Caitlyn Clark and Lexi Hall liked it.
Here’s what Kelsey wrote:
“I got low, shed tears nobody saw. Got my back dirty just to make it through. All my cards on the table, trusted God to save myself. Guaranteed my best, willing and able. Forever dying on my own sword.”
Lexi Hall replied with a heartfelt message, saying she loves and is proud of Kelsey.
Let’s take a look at the photos Kelsey shared with her post. Fans are starting to wonder if Kelsey might be moving on from the Fever.
Earlier today, an article highlighted Kelsey’s situation, mentioning that while she loves Indiana, she has to prioritize her own needs during free agency.
The Fever had an impressive goal for the 2024 season—making the playoffs with the help of superstar rookie Caitlyn Clark and Kelsey Mitchell. They achieved that goal after a rocky start, finishing as the sixth seed in the playoffs and boasting a .500 record for the first time since 2016.
Now that they’ve made it back to the postseason, the Fever have their sights set even higher. General manager Lyn Dunn said, “We want to play for championships.” The energy in the arena has been electric, with fans showing incredible support.
Kelsey has been a crucial part of the Fever for 7 years, and this was her first time making it to the playoffs. At 28 years old, she’s experienced the ups and downs of the game, including coaching changes and tough seasons. But she has always been a consistent scorer.
Recently, Kelsey spoke to the media about her future, sharing her thoughts as the season wrapped up. Kelsey expressed the mix of emotions she’s feeling and emphasized that she needs to focus on what’s best for her. While Indiana will always feel like home, she knows she has to be selfish about her decision-making.
Kelsey’s contract situation is also worth noting. If the Fever want to keep her, they could automatically offer her a one-year supermax deal worth up to $241,000. But if they’re looking to negotiate something longer, there’s still a lot to figure out.
The official free agency period doesn’t start until January, so we’ll have to wait a bit longer to see what unfolds.
