Fever star Kelsey Mitchell breaks A'ja Wilson's WNBA's single-season scoring record
The Fever offense has been absurd this year, with Mitchell the leading scorer.
Kelsey Mitchell, a star player for the Indiana Fever, has shattered the WNBA single-season scoring record with an impressive performance. On Friday, Mitchell scored 33 points in a 103-85 victory over the Toronto Tempo, bringing her total season points to an astounding 1,034. This breaks the previous record set by A'ja Wilson in 2024, when teams played 40 games per season.
Mitchell's performance, combined with her teammate Caitlin Clark, has formed one of the most potent offenses in WNBA history, with Mitchell leading the league in field goals and 3-point shooting percentage. Clark ranks second in assists per game, emphasizing their impressive individual performances. While Mitchell currently leads in points scored, Wilson is close behind with 991 points, playing fewer games.
Both players have three games left in the regular season, and the WNBA's upcoming 50-game schedule could potentially make records even more attainable. The competition between Mitchel and Wilson is far from over, and the final standings will likely provide more clarity on who holds the WNBA's single-season scoring record.
