Fever Coach Stephanie White Addresses Kelsey Mitchell Exit
Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White addressed the exit of star Kelsey Mitchell, who didn't return in the team's win over Toronto.
Indiana Fever star Kelsey Mitchell set a new WNBA record by scoring 20 or more points in 20 consecutive games, matching the achievement of Las Vegas Aces star Aja Wilson. However, Mitchell left the game after scoring eight points late in the third quarter, citing the hot conditions as the cause for her exit. Head coach Stephanie White acknowledged the role of playing in two consecutive games in hot environments, suggesting that Mitchell was likely overheated.
Mitchell shot well during the game, going 11-for-16 and making 4 of 6 from three-point range. Head coach White praised Mitchell's ability to create scoring opportunities for her teammates, noting that she is one of the few players who can consistently deliver. Despite Mitchell's absence in the final quarter, Indiana Fever still managed to win against Toronto Tempo with a score of 101-96.
