Fever Star Kelsey Mitchell Sidelined Indefinitely with Torn ACL, Indiana’s Championship Hopes Dented
– In a devastating blow to the Indiana Fever’s championship aspirations, star guard Kelsey Mitchell has suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her left knee.
– Mitchell, the team’s leading scorer and a WNBA All-Star, underwent an MRI scan earlier today, which confirmed the severity of the injury.
– The 26-year-old guard will undergo surgery and begin a lengthy rehabilitation process, leaving the Fever without their most potent offensive weapon.
– “We’re heartbroken for Kelsey,” said Fever Head Coach Carlos Knox. “She’s an incredible player and an even better person. We’ll rally around her and support her through this tough time.”
– Mitchell’s injury leaves a significant void in the Fever’s lineup, casting doubt over their ability to contend for the WNBA title this season.
