Summary
- Indiana Fever's Kelsey Mitchell injured her left leg in Game 5 of WNBA semifinal
- Mitchell was the Fever's top player this postseason, averaging 23.3 points
- Fever entered the game without six players, including star Caitlin Clark
On October 1st, 2025, Indiana Fever's star player Kelsey Mitchell sustained an apparent left leg injury during the third quarter of the decisive Game 5 of the WNBA semifinal series against the Las Vegas Aces. The incident occurred with 5:05 left in the period, as Mitchell seemed to suffer a non-contact injury. Her teammates quickly surrounded her, giving Mitchell privacy as she lay on the court for at least five minutes.
Mitchell has been the Fever's top player this postseason, averaging an impressive 23.3 points per game. However, the Fever entered this crucial matchup already decimated by injuries, missing six players, including star Caitlin Clark. Despite the setbacks, Mitchell had scored 15 points, making all three of her 3-point attempts, before leaving the game.
The winner of Tuesday's game would advance to the WNBA Finals against the Phoenix Mercury. Mitchell, who averaged 20.2 points in the regular season and was a finalist for WNBA MVP, will be sorely missed if the Fever are to make it to the championship series.
