Fever's Kelsey Mitchell breaks A'ja Wilson's WNBA single-season points record

Mitchell reached 1,021 points and also set an Indiana Fever single-season 3-pointer record, moving past A'ja Wilson with three games left.

  • On Friday, Sept. 18, Indiana Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell broke the WNBA single-season scoring record against the Toronto Tempo, surpassing the mark previously held by Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson.
  • Mitchell's performance continues a dominant campaign, building on her earlier success breaking Wilson's record for consecutive 20-point games earlier this year.
  • During Friday's game, Mitchell sank her 123rd triple, setting the Indiana Fever single-season franchise record for long-range shots made, as teammate Caitlin Clark assisted on the record-breaking shot with five minutes remaining until halftime.
  • As the Fever prepares for the postseason, the organization is campaigning for Mitchell and Clark as co-MVPs, while Mitchell has recorded at least 20 points in 33 games, nearing another Wilson record.
  • Mitchell needs just two more 20-point performances to break Wilson's single-season record for such games; meanwhile, the league's MVP Wilson is chasing her fifth career award while leading the league in scoring.
