The Indiana Fever is ready to challenge for the championship once again and showed its intent with big signings in the offseason. The franchise prioritized and signed Kelsey Mitchell to a supermax contract, keeping their trust in the veteran guard once again.
While the Fever front office reveals the real reason for offering Mitchell a supermax contract, they even handed Aliyah Boston the highest value contract in the league, putting her as another pillar for their championship dream.
Both players are part of the Fever core that also includes Caitlin Clark, who is eligible for a similar bumper contract next season, and the trio shares a strong bond on and off the court. Mitchell and Boston recently showed similar bonds during the recent press conference.

Kelsey Mitchell Showing Sisterly Love For Aliyah Boston
The Fever franchise fell short of the championship last season, yet their impressive run received huge praise. The KM and AB were key figures in that run and attended the press conference talking about the team’s preparations and plan for the season.
While the former Ohio state star was all serious about her answers, Boston suddenly asked the reporters, “Do you guys like my cup?”… the question flipped Mitchell, who said, “Oh My God.”

Importantly, both players left the conference together after that funny reaction, and the mic also caught the 2018 rookie scolding Boston with ‘sisterly love’.
Apart from this, Boston already mentioned how the 2025 MVP finalist helped her to settle in the Indiana franchise and go through the tough initial phase, and now both stars are key contributors to the team’s success. The franchise also shot a special message for its veteran guard.

There was chatter that the nine-year veteran would not return to the Indiana franchise after a close miss in the 2025 season. But the player not only showed loyalty and love for the franchise but is also ready to deliver the title.
The franchise also made a video with top fever stars showing their love for the guard.
