WNBA All-Star guard Kelsey Mitchell has officially signed a one-year, $1.4 million supermax contract to return to the Indiana Fever, the team announced. The deal, first reported by ESPN's Chiney Ogwumike, secures the veteran scorer for the 2026 season.
Mitchell, a three-time All-Star, has spent her entire seven-year career with the Fever since being drafted second overall in 2018. She is a cornerstone of the franchise, averaging 16.8 points per game over her career and ranking as the team's all-time leader in three-pointers made.
The supermax designation is reserved for a team's core player and represents the highest possible salary under the WNBA's collective bargaining agreement. Mitchell's retention is a key move for the Fever as they continue to build around their young core, including recent top draft picks.
