Caitlin Clark's Reaction
After Friday night's win, Clark called Kelsey Mitchell's WNBA scoring record 'insane' and 'ridiculous' for her efficiency.
“Yeah, just super excited for her. I mean, I don't think people realize what she's done this year and how insane it's been.”
Mitchell's Scoring Record
Mitchell scored her 1,022nd point of the season, the most in WNBA history, with 33 points in a 103-85 victory over Toronto Tempo.
“She scored her 1,022nd point of the season, the most any player has racked up in a single WNBA season.”
Mitchell's Efficiency
Mitchell has a 51.8% field-goal percentage and 46.2% three-point shooting, making her one of the league's most efficient scorers.
“It's rare to see Mitchell have an off-night, especially when she has a teammate like Clark who can confuse the defense and make ideal passes to her teammates for open shots.”
MVP Contention
Mitchell and Caitlin Clark are both among the WNBA MVP contenders, with A'ja Wilson leading the race for a fifth MVP award.
“It's clear the Fever have the best backcourt in the WNBA, and with fellow All-Star Aliyah Boston often achieving double-doubles with her scoring and rebounding, the Fever seem to be surging at the right time.”
Next Game
Mitchell aims to add to her season points record when the Fever host the Washington Mystics on Sunday, Sept. 20, at 4 p.m. ET.
