Is Indiana Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell a WNBA MVP contender? Caitlin Clark thinks so. Her 38-point Sunday explosion had teammates raving.

Kelsey Mitchell entered Sunday's matchup against the Sun fourth in the league in scoring (19.9 points per game), fourth in made 3-pointers per game (2.4), and fifth in 3-point percentage (37.7), and her performance in the Fever's 21-point comeback may have earned her a seat at the table in the MVP discussion.

It’s been a forgettable second season for Clark. She has missed time with a quad and groin injuries. The 2024 No. 1 pick and first-team All-WNBA selection has appeared in just 13 games this season, averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game.
