Kelsey Mitchell, the Indiana Fever guard, is preparing for her ninth season with the team, coming off a season where she scored a career-high 20.2 points per game and finished fifth in the WNBA's 2025 MVP voting. This year, Mitchell signed a one-year, supermax contract with the Fever worth a reported $1.4 million, making her the first player in franchise history to make $1 million in a single season. Despite her impressive performance, Mitchell remains committed to maintaining her passion for basketball and not changing her identity. The regular season begins on Saturday against the Dallas Wings.
