Fever’s Kelsey Mitchell Sets New Three-Point Record
Kelsey Mitchell gave Indiana Fever fans a bright moment on Wednesday, even as the team struggled against the New York Liberty. The veteran guard hit a major milestone in franchise history with her performance.
Indiana trailed 53-38 in the first half, but Mitchell stayed hot. She scored 13 points on 4-of-8 shooting and sank two of her four attempts from deep. That second triple made her the all-time leader in three-pointers for the Fever, surpassing Tamika Catchings.
“FRANCHISE RECORD,” the Fever posted on X. “Kelsey Mitchell has passed Tamika Catchings for the most three-pointers made in franchise history with 607 and counting.”
Mitchell entered the game with 605 threes. She needed just two to break the record, and delivered early.
