Shocked news: Kelsey Mitchell responded harshly those who hated Caitlin Clark – and no one expected that

In the context of Caitlin Clark – WNBA’s prominent rookie – is becoming the focus of both admiration and criticism, a teammate at Indiana Fever has suddenly spoken out, and none other than Kelsey Mitchell – one of the team’s most stable scores – has stood up to protect Clark in a strong way.

The interview made the whole tournament

In an interview after the recent match, Mitchell did not hesitate to express her views before a series of negative comments towards Caitlin Clark. “I saw too many people trying to pull her down,” Mitchell said. “But the truth is, we see how Clark is working every day, how effort, and above all – she is an integral part of this collective.”

Mitchell’s speech is not only protective but also an affirmation: Clark is not alone in the wave of public opinion, and Fever is a united collective, not letting anyone “stoned” in a fairly fair manner.

A phase “clap back” surprised many people

As a quiet and focused person, Kelsey Mitchell rarely involved in controversy. Therefore, the fact that she spoke this time made fans and the media pay attention. Social networks immediately exploded with quotes from the interview. “Mitchell said for all of us,” a user wrote on X (Twitter). “The truth is that Clark is being attacked just because she is too prominent.”

Fever: From personal ego to a unified collective

This event not only speaks of the relationship between individuals in the team but also shows a strong fever. The fact that a star like Mitchell is willing to stand out to protect his juniors shows the team spirit at Indiana has been raised to a new level. This is no longer a patchwork collective of individuals, but a unified block with a clear goal: victory and sustainable development.

Clark does not need to “defend” when having such a teammate

In recent weeks, Clark has often faced pressure from both inside and outside the field. She chose to be silent and expressed by action on the pitch. But with Mitchell’s voice, fans can see that Clark does not have to carry them all.

This can be considered a “reversing” moment in the psychology of the Indiana Fever team – when an internal voice dares to stand up, not only protecting the personal but also the message: “We are one.” And when a team agreed, they could become the most formidable opponent at WNBA.
