With the season nearing its end, the Indiana Fever find themselves in a precarious spot. Sitting in the middle of the standings, their playoff hopes hang by a thread. In such challenging times, praise from opponents is rare. Yet Kelsey Mitchell’s standout play has been so impactful that it drew admiration from an unexpected source: Azzi Fudd’s father.
Tim Fudd, father of Azzi, took to X to praise the 38-point stint by Mitchell against the Connecticut Sun. Due to her valiant effort, the Fever won the game, which they were trailing on by a margin. “It absolutely is amazing at what Kelsey Mitchell is doing with the Fever. I’ve said it for the last two seasons, but people have chosen to overlook her prolific scoring ability as if it is not top-notch,” he said in his X post.
