The biggest bit of news, though, also involved Mitchell. After Saturday’s 26-point outburst, the three-time All-Star now leads the entire WNBA in total points this season (637). The locker room erupted in cheers after hearing the big news.

Lexie Hull said she had channelled her "inner Kelsey Mitchell" after scoring 17 points to help the injury-hit Indiana Fever to a 92-70 win over the Chicago Sky. The Fever were rocked on Friday by the news that Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald will miss the rest of the season with anterior cruciate ligament and foot injuries, respectively.
