Indiana Fever Star Kelsey Mitchell Shares True Feelings on Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese

Indiana Fever veteran guard Kelsey Mitchell recently discussed how the arrival of rookies Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese has dramatically transformed the WNBA. Speaking in a magazine feature, Mitchell emphasized that attempting to restrict newer players from entering the league would ultimately damage the sport.

Instead, she noted that the presence of Clark and Reese has expanded opportunities for everyone across the organization.

During the 2024 season, the collective impact of these emerging stars coincided with a massive surge in popularity, culminating in the league achieving its highest total attendance figures in over two decades alongside a dramatic increase in sellout games. Having spent multiple seasons sharing the court with Clark while frequently competing against Reese, Mitchell believes veteran leadership combined with rising talent places the sport on solid footing for the future.
