Kelsey Mitchell commented, grateful for you 2’s on Caitlin Clark’s year-ender post as the duo showed a special bond.

The Indiana Fever’s historic run became one of the storylines of the 2025 season as the team overcame multiple injury crises to reach the semifinal of the season. While Kelsey Mitchell was at the heart of their impressive plays, injured Caitlin Clark was also on the sidelines cheering her team on every possession.

HC Stephanie White called the Fever team a family who stood up and stepped up for each other as they made the impossible possible. Kelsey Mitchell also praised Stephanie White’s role in the epic run. However, during the offseason, the player also showed a special bond with her backcourt partner, leaving a heartfelt comment on the post.

Kelsey Mitchell Reacts To Caitlin Clark’s Post

When the megastar playmaker was part of just 13 games in the 2025 season, Mitchell bailed out the Fever team on multiple occasions, keeping the side competitive for the title. Her heroic performances earned her the 2025 MVP finalist honor and the Fever players’ huge respect. CC also showed her love for the veteran guard in her year-end post.

Clark included a photo of herself posing with Mitchell as they showed big smiles. Mitchell, for her part, also shared it on her Instagram Stories and included a message of appreciation for Clark. She wrote, “grateful for you, 2’s!”

While the duo share a special bond, fans are hoping to see that flourish in the upcoming season too. Ironically, the 2024 rookie is still under contract, and Mitchell is a free agent in the upcoming season.

But the message clearly highlights a special bond between the two guards. Mitchell also highlighted the CC’s one quality that impresses her the most, and might be the reason for their chemistry on the floor.

Kelsey Mitchell Opens Up On Her Favorite Caitlin Clark Quality

In a recent podcast episode, Aliyah Boston named Kelsey Mitchell as the WNBA’s best 1-on-1 player. While the 28-year-old also praised Clark for her game and impact, she highlighted one special quality that impressed her the most.

In an interview with Sue Bird, Mitchell answered the question about CC and said, “When something that big or someone that big who has that much impact comes into something, there are a lot of adjustments that the people have to make. The biggest part I respect about Caitlin (Clark) is that she was never bigger than the program. She wasn’t trying to take over.”

The college basketball megastar seamlessly integrated into the Fever lineup and was an instant hit among her teammates and fans.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
