All-Star Kelsey Mitchell Makes WNBA History in Fever's Upset Over Sky

Despite the absence of star player Caitlin Clark, who has missed 13 games this season due to a right groin injury, the Indiana Fever pulled off a stunning 93-78 victory over the Chicago Sky. The hero of the night was Fever's All-Star guard Kelsey Mitchell, who delivered a historic performance.

Mitchell scored a season-high 35 points in just 30 minutes of play, shooting an impressive 12-for-19 from the field and 7-for-10 from three-point range. But her impact went beyond just scoring, as she also recorded 6 assists, 7 made three-pointers, and 3 steals. This complete stat line made Mitchell the first player in WNBA history to achieve those numbers in a single game.

"I love to win," Mitchell told ESPN reporter Holly Rowe after the game. "I want to do right by myself and by the team and by everything I represent." The 29-year-old guard has been a consistent standout for the Fever, ranking first in the franchise's history in points per game and three-point field goals made.
