There is no sight comparable to when a team that is down big, riddled with injuries and yet, they pull out an amazing win out of the jaws of defeat. That sight was seen just minutes ago when the Indiana Fever faced the Connecticut Sun. Already down Caitlin Clark, Aari McDonald, and Sydney Colson, the Fever lost another important piece, Sophie Cunningham as well. However, they pulled out a comeback when Indiana’s MVP, Kelsey Mitchell, had a dominant 38-point performance and led a franchise record 21-point comeback.
After the game, fan reactions and messages started pouring in, demanding that Kelsey Mitchell be also considered for the coveted MVP award. During the game, Mitchell also became the player with the most 30-point games in Indiana Fever’s history. Reacted to the team’s X post, fans had their own say on the topic.
