"For the love of the game": Kelsey Mitchell drops heartfelt reaction to offseason workout picture with Caitlin Clark and others
Kelsey Mitchell and the Indiana Fever are working hard ahead of the 2025 WNBA season. Mitchell shared a photo of their offseason preparations on social media.
The seven-year veteran guard out of Ohio State posted a snap of her and teammates Caitlin Clark and Brianna Turner conversing with the team coaches at the Fever's training facility.
"For the love of the game," Mitchell captioned the post.
The Fever had an eventful 2024 season. Buoyed by the arrival of rookie sensation Caitlin Clark, Indiana returned to the playoffs after eight years.
Mitchell averaged a career-high in scoring with 19.2 points while playing in all 40 regular-season games. Her veteran leadership and smarts complemented the all-round play of Clark and the steadily improving game of Aliyah Boston as they formed a bankable All-Star trio.
Kelsey Mitchell re-signs with the Fever
Kelsey Mitchell re-signed with the Fever last month on a one-year deal worth $249,244. It marks the eighth straight year she will be donning the red, blue and gold.
Mitchell, 29, cited the affinity she has with the team and the great working relationship she has developed with the people around her throughout the years as a reason for re-signing.
Kelsey Mitchell said (via Sports Illustrated):
"Indiana has been my second home since I went pro, so this is the only city I know. To see you guys open up your arms to me, I remember every employee I run into. Whether you're a janitor, camera person, I like to be that person. That was a big part of me coming back because I got to meet really great people."
She also took note of playing alongside a talent like Clark.
"Then I met one of the greatest people in the world, Caitlin Clark, who just ran the basketball world. So, I think together we hope to make you guys proud. ... And I'm here, let's do this."
Kelsey Mitchell was selected second in the 2018 WNBA draft following a stellar collegiate career at Ohio State.
In seven years in Indiana, she has averaged 16.8 points, 2.8 assists and two rebounds in 233 games. She is a two-time All-Star.
