INDIANAPOLIS — The seat is always different, but the person in it remains the same. We can’t see him, but Kelsey Mitchell can. Before every game, the Indiana Fever star looks out into the crowd and finds her father, Mark. “It’s not necessarily about the arena,” Mitchell said. “It’s about me. It’s about us.” Mitchell’s dad died suddenly in March 2024. Yet, more than two years later, amid the best season of her career, which comes down to a win-or-go-home Game 2 against the Las Vegas Aces in the o

Four teams reportedly have interest in Jalen Duren as his Pistons contract standoff continues to deteriorate.

Every college hoops fan knows Braylon Mullins can shoot, but it's everything else he could become that makes his NBA upside so fascinating.

Despite having one of the best seasons of his career so far, last year did not end the way Luka Doncic would have wanted as a Grade 2 left hamstring strain kept him out for the end of the regular season as well as the Los Angeles Lakers’ entire postseason run. This offseason the Lakers’ […]

The best way to start the year.

White played well last season, though his poor shooting garnered most of the attention, and he hopes to address it.

Caitlin Clark became the first player in league history to produce a points-assists double-double in the first half of a playoff game and finished with 27 points and 15 assists in a 99-89 win over the Aces to keep the Fever alive.

Caitlin Clark’s 2026 season gave the Indiana Fever plenty of reason to celebrate, as she had the best season of her young career. However, buried under the stuffed stat sheets and historic offensive numbers lies a statistic that the team would rather forget.

One dirty hit. Zero flags. One brutal upset.

Gabby Williams knows Paige Bueckers will score, so her plan is to wear her out.

As his new contract takes effect, Jovic said on Monday at the Heat’s media day that he hasn’t […]

Washed? Not if he’s got something to say about it

Media Day can be filled with sound bites that lack introspection, observations that aren’t particularly earth-shattering, and run-of-the-mill responses that ultimately provide little insight. But every year, there are a few hidden gems along the way that make you stop, think, and react. Maybe they’re funny. Maybe they’re unbelievably introspective.
