How Caitlin Clark’s presence is helping Fever teammate have a successful season.

Monday night’s match between the Indiana Fever and the Atlanta Dream is getting ready. Christie Sides, the head coach of the Fever, spoke about Kelsey Mitchell’s reaction to Caitlin Clark and other stars before the game on the Indiana Fever on X (previously Twitter).

Sides remarked, “Kelsey and I, we’ve laughed.” “She has taken more photos in broad daylight than she has ever taken. That is due to Caitlin Clark, NaLyssa Smith, and Aliyah Boston. People deflect attention from her. She’s prepared to act, though. It’s simply thrilling.”Clark’s rookie campaign has been amazing. Without a doubt, the Fever star is performing at a high level. She is expected to take home the WNBA Rookie of the Year trophy in 2024. But Clark’s teammates have been a big help to her.Since 2018, Mitchell, 28, has competed in the WNBA. Her whole career, she has been with the Fever in Indiana. Mitchell has kept getting better, and in 2023 she was selected for her first WNBA All-Star Game. In 2024, she was selected as an All-Star for the second time in a row.
However, opponents continue to frequently concentrate on Clark, Boston, and Smith—the other three players on the Fever. Mitchell is therefore taking what opponents give her and frequently making defenses pay for it.

With 45.1 percent field goals and 37.6 percent three-point shooting, Mitchell is presently averaging 17.8 points per game. In addition, the two-time All-Star averages 1.9 assists and 2.3 rebounds per game.The Fever have a 13-16 record going into their matchup in Atlanta on Monday. In the Eastern Conference, Indiana is currently ranked third. In 2024, they anticipate having a good chance of making the postseason. Nonetheless, Mitchell’s continued success is essential for the Fever to have any chance of making a significant postseason run. Even though she doesn’t always get the most attention, Indiana is aware of her influence during the ’24 campaign.
