Sophie Cunningham declared Kelsey Mitchell should have been the WNBA’s MVP, stating, “nobody in our entire league could stop Kelsey Mitchell this year.” This powerful assessment came after Mitchell single-handedly led an Indiana Fever team decimated by injuries deep into the playoffs.

She averaged 22.3 points per game in the postseason, pushing the eventual champions to a five-game series. Her teammates watched her dominate, rallying around her leadership on the court. But a quiet social media post from Mitchell after the season revealed the private battle she fought through every single game.
