Kelsey Mitchell Inks Record $1.4M Supermax Deal, Igniting Indiana Fever’s Championship Quest with Caitlin Clark
Kelsey Mitchell has signed a landmark one-year, $1.4 million supermax deal to remain with the Indiana Fever, a move explicitly prioritized by teammate Caitlin Clark. This agreement, one of the first under the WNBA’s new supermax distinction, recognizes Mitchell’s stellar 2025 season where she carried an injury-hit Fever team to the semifinals.
The strategic one-year contract offers Mitchell a top-tier salary while providing the Fever essential cap flexibility as they plan for future max deals for Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark, bolstering the team’s championship aspirations for the 2026 season.
