Cameras catch Caitlin Clark’s hyped reaction over Indiana Fever teammate

Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell form one of the most powerful offensive duos in the WNBA. The Indiana Fever stars dominated defenses last season with their incredible chemistry. Their time on the court together produced several historic achievements for the team.

Mitchell broke the franchise’s single-season scoring record last season with 890 points. The veteran guard averaged 20.2 points per game. On the other hand, Clark averaged 16.5 points before injuries cut her 2025 campaign short. Despite only 13 appearances, she still became the fastest guard in WNBA history to reach 100 assists in a season.

The Fever continue to rely on their backcourt chemistry as the season goes on. Indiana focuses on pace, spacing and aggressive play, which bring out both guards’ strengths. Mitchell drives and creates contact, while Clark runs the offense and finds open shooters. Their partnership is central to the team’s offense.

During a recent practice session, Mitchell showcased her aggressive offensive mindset. She drove hard to the basket and finished a layup through contact. The physical play drew a foul, giving her an and-1 opportunity.

Cameras captured Clark getting incredibly hyped over Mitchell’s impressive finish. Clark immediately rushed toward her teammate and then opened her arms wide for a chest bump. 

The Fever shared a clip and some photos on Instagram showing Mitchell earning a whistle for a three-point play opportunity. It also showed Clark’s fired-up reaction as the rest of the team shouted in celebration.

“Toughhhh, Kelz 💪,” the Fever captioned the post in reference to Mitchell’s play.

Indiana won the 2025 WNBA Commissioner’s Cup without Clark in the championship game. The All-Star point guard was sidelined with a groin injury. However, she played a key role in the qualifying games that helped Indiana reach the final. 

Mitchell contributed 12 points in the victory and helped carry the team through its most successful stretch of the 2025 campaign.

Clark is now fully healthy and is participating in all training camp drills with Mitchell.

Indiana enters the 2026 season with championship aspirations. The Fever will open the regular season on Saturday at home against the Dallas Wings. A sellout crowd is expected at Gainbridge Fieldhouse to watch Clark and Mitchell in action.
