Indiana Fever's Kelsey Mitchell Hospitalized After Leg Cramps in Playoff Game
Indiana Fever's leading scorer, Kelsey Mitchell, was taken to the hospital for further examination after suffering leg cramps during a playoff game against the Las Vegas Aces on Tuesday. Mitchell, who averaged 20.2 points per game in the regular season and 23.3 in the playoffs, was ruled out mid-game due to the injury.
The incident occurred during the third quarter of the game, which the Fever ultimately lost 107-98. Mitchell was experiencing issues in her left quadriceps, just above the knee. Medical staff attended to her on the court, but she declined to use a stretcher and left the court with assistance. This was not the first time an Indiana Fever player was sidelined due to injury in the playoffs, as Damiris Dantas was also ruled out due to a concussion.
Kelsey Mitchell's injury is a significant blow to the Indiana Fever, who will now have to rely on other players to step up in her absence. The team and fans will be hoping for a swift recovery for Mitchell, who has been a key player for the Fever this season.
