Kelsey Mitchell Leaves WNBA Fans Wondering Following Latest Social Media Activity Involving Indiana Fever
Kelsey Mitchell’s future with the Indiana Fever has become the biggest story in WNBA offseason speculation, as her social media activity has left fans questioning whether she plans to leave after nine seasons. The star guard, who set a career-high average of 24.7 points per game this season and earned first-team All-WNBA honors in 2025, has quietly unfollowed the team’s official Instagram account—a move that has sparked rumors about her intentions.
Mitchell, the franchise’s first $1 million player, has faced intense scrutiny and fan backlash, even mentioning in her exit interview how difficult it is to compete for support. With unrestricted free agency approaching (talks begin February 4, signings February 16), her decision could reshape the Fever’s roster, especially as Caitlin Clark has publicly expressed her desire to play alongside Mitchell for the rest of her career.
The timing is notable, as Mitchell has spent her entire professional career with Indiana since being drafted second overall in 2018, and her performance has been a cornerstone of the team’s recent success, including a Game 5 victory in 2025.
