Indian Fever president reacts to Kelsey Mitchell re-signing with Indiana Fever

The Indiana Fever issued a press release on Wednesday morning to officially announce that they’ve re-signed Kelsey Mitchell. It included a statement from President of Basketball Operations Kelly Krauskopf, who expressed her excitement about the veteran guard choosing to remain in Indiana.

“Kelsey has been a foundation of our franchise for many years, and we are thrilled to see her return to the Fever,” Krauskopf said. “We value Kelsey’s commitment to our organization, and we’re excited to see her build off a phenomenal 2024, her best season yet. She is one of the best guards in this league and is a cornerstone to building a championship roster.”

At the time this is being written, the terms of Mitchell’s new contract with the Fever have not been revealed yet. Her previous deal with the organization was for three years and valued at $618,000.

Kelsey Mitchell is one of the longest-tenured players on the Fever to date. She first arrived in Indiana back in 2018 after being drafted No. 2 overall. In that time, she’s grown into a highly productive offensive guard and efficient shooter from beyond the arc.

Retaining Mitchell is big for the Fever, as it keeps their core intact. Last season, she and Caitlin Clark were one of the top backcourt pairings in the WNBA. Now, this high-powered duo will remain alongside one another as they attempt to get the Fever closer to contending.
