Three‑time All‑Star Kelsey Mitchell will re‑sign with the Indiana Fever on a one‑year $1.4 million supermax contract, sources tell ESPN. The deal places her among the league’s first players to secure the new supermax tier. Mitchell, an All‑WNBA First Team selection in 2025, guided Indiana to the semifinals last season and posted a career‑high 22.3 points per playoff game.

During a career‑best 2025 campaign Mitchell finished fifth in MVP voting while averaging a franchise‑record 20 points per game. Injuries sidelined stars Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham, yet Mitchell’s 22.3 points per playoff game propelled the Fever past the Atlanta Dream in a first‑round sweep and pushed eventual champions Las Vegas to five games. Her leadership also earned her a spot on the 2025 All‑Star roster.

Mitchell’s postseason scoring rank – second only to four‑time MVP A’ja Wilson – underscores her value as Indiana’s marquee player. By securing the supermax, the Fever lock up their top scorer for another year, giving the franchise a clear offensive anchor as it rebuilds around younger talent. Fans responded with home‑court attendance, confirming her market draw.
