Caitlin Clark is the biggest winner of the Fever re-signing Kelsey Mitchell

Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell are back together again.

Fever fans might tell you they never worried about Mitchell returning, but Indiana’s front office was honest. They said signing Kelsey was one of the organization’s top off-season priorities. (Kelsey’s infamous Magic Johnson moment probably didn’t help the uneasy feeling about whether she would return.)

But she’s back now, and the biggest winner of the move? Caitlin Clark.

Caitlin gets her right-hand person back, and they can continue being one of the most dangerous backcourt duos in the league. Here’s the Fever’s announcement of Kelsey re-signing and their fantastic committee to welcome her back, plus Caitlin’s Instagram endorsement.

In 2024, Caitlin and Kelsey each averaged 19.2 points a game, and their elite connection was hard to deny.

Remember when Caitlin launched a full-court pass to break the WNBA rookie assist record? It was to Kelsey Mitchell.

Caitlin Clark’s 19th against Dallas that broke a WNBA single-game record? That was to Kelsey Mitchell, too.

The single-season WNBA assist record that Caitlin broke? Yep. Kelsey Mitchell was involved.

It seems they have a knack for finding each other on the court, whether it was Kelsey being a top option for helping Caitlin break records or her cutting off-ball to get in the corner for a Caitlin-assisted 3-pointer.

Here are a few photos of their remarkable first season together to continue celebrating this dynamic duo.
