INDIANAPOLIS — It’s the Indiana Fever’s first home game of the 2024 season, and All-Star guard Kelsey Mitchell is going through her pre-game warmup. The atmosphere was stunning as the arena began to fill in with more than 17,000 fans. It was a highly-anticipated game for many. But Mitchell’s mind was elsewhere.
The veteran guard, who has been with the Indiana Fever for her entire career, keeps her circle tight. To Mitchell, family is everything. Her parents and friends come to many games, and they chat just outside the arena once the action is over. After the 28-year old found out she wasn’t an All-Star in 2022, she instantly Facetimed her parents for a vent session. It’s how she stays grounded and works through emotions.
