Fever Star Sets Incredible WNBA Record — And It's Not Caitlin Clark

Indiana Fever All-Star guard Kelsey Mitchell is having an all-time great WNBA season, and it's flying under the radar.

The Indiana Fever lost a hard-fought game to the Dallas Wings on Thursday night, ending a five-game winning streak. However, the loss was overshadowed by the incredible performance of Fever All-Star guard Kelsey Mitchell. Mitchell dominated the game, scoring an impressive 37 points on 9-for-18 shooting. This performance saw Mitchell extend her streak of 20+ point games to 21, breaking the previous record of A ja Wilson.

Mitchell expressed her gratitude to her team for their support, but emphasized that her focus remains on her own performance. Despite the loss, the Fever remain 8-3 since the All-Star break, securing the No. 4 seed in the league standings with seven regular-season games remaining before the playoffs commence in late September. If the season concluded today, the Fever would face the Atlanta Dream in the first round of the playoffs.
