Fever's Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell are at the center of an unprecedented WNBA award campaign

Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell of the Indiana Fever are the focal point of an unprecedented WNBA award campaign. After dominating the Connecticut Sun on Friday night, the Fever duo is at the center of debate for the WNBA MVP award. While neither guard is currently among the MVP favorites, the Fever sees potential for both to share the league's most coveted individual award.

This comes on the heels of a recent precedent in 2025, where Alanna Smith and Aja Wilson split the Defensive Player of the Year award, making it the first time in WNBA history that one major award was shared by two players. The Fever are currently on a roll, having won 12 of their past 16 games and holding the fourth seed in the WNBA playoffs.

Both Clark and Mitchell have been lighting up the court, with Clark scoring at least 30 points and dishing out at least 10 assists in six career games. Mitchell has extended her consecutive 20-point game streak to 24. Despite not being among the MVP favorites, both guards have been vital to the Fever's 26-win season and .650 winning percentage.
