The Indiana Fever and Kelsey Mitchell have agreed to a one-year, $1.4 million supermax contract that will keep the star guard in Indiana, league sources confirmed to The Athletic on Friday. Mitchell can sign her new deal Saturday, per WNBA rules, which will make her the first player in Fever history to make $1 million in a single season.
Mitchell, a three-time All-Star, averaged a career-high 20.2 points per game last year. She led the Fever to the semifinals of the playoffs, despite her main backcourt mate, two-time All-Star Caitlin Clark, being limited to just 13 games due to a slew of soft tissue injuries.
This is a developing story. More to come.
