After a career-best year for Indiana in her seventh season in the WNBA, Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell was officially named by the Associated Press as a member of the All-WNBA First Team roster on Friday.
Mitchell finished the 2025 regular season averaging 20.2 points, 3.4 assists and 1.8 rebounds per game on 45.6% field goal shooting, 39.4% from 3-point territory, and 78.4% from the free-throw line.

Mitchell also ended the campaign as the league leader in 3-pointers made, knocking down 111 from beyond the arc. The 5-foot-8 guard scored 890 points this season to rank second overall. Additionally, Mitchell ranked third in points per game, breaking a two-decades-plus Fever record set in 2003 by Tamika Catchings.
This year, Mitchell set new franchise records for points scored in a single season, as well as becoming Indiana’s leader in career 3-pointers made with 669, good for the eighth-most in WNBA history. Mitchell also set a new franchise record for the most 30-plus point games across her career, earning her 11th, passing Catchings.
For her play this year, Mitchell was named a WNBA All-Star for the third consecutive year and was a two-time WNBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week.

Mitchell becomes just the second Fever player to be named to any AP All-WNBA team since its inception in 2016, joining fellow teammate Caitlin Clark, who was a member of the 2024 AP All-WNBA First Team. The Cincinnati native was previously named to the AP’s All-Rookie team in 2018.
Mitchell and the Fever will be traveling to Atlanta, Ga., to open their WNBA first-round best-of-three series against the Atlanta Dream on Sunday.
Game one of that series will begin at 2 p.m. CT and will be broadcast on ABC.
