Caitlin Clark's teammate Kelsey Mitchell found a unique way to show love to her late father, Mark Mitchell. The Indiana Fever star entered the arena in a custom-made dress that featured pictures of her father.
Mitchell paired a miniskirt with a full-sleeve crop top as she showed up for the game against the Dallas Wings on Sunday. The dress had pictures of Mitchell posing with her dad.
Mitchell was close to her father, who played a pivotal role in her basketball career. He played college football for Eastern Kentucky and became an assistant coach at Ohio State, where Kelsey and her sister, Chelsea, also played college basketball.
On Father's Day in June, Mitchell paid tribute to her father after a game against the Chicago Sky.
"To all the fathers out there, happy Father's Day," Mitchell told fans at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. "I've been fortunate to have a really great father in my life for the past 28 years who passed recently. To all the fathers out there, keep doing your thing, we couldn't be here without you guys."
Mark Mitchell was 56 when he died in March.
