The Indiana Fever are having another impressive season in 2026. They have now won at least 20 games for a third straight season.
The 2025 WNBA Commissioner’s Cup Champions are led by their big three of Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston.
Mitchell has been the longest-tenured Fever among the three superstars. Joining the team in 2018, she has now become a four-time WNBA All-Star and has one All-WNBA First Team selection.
This season, she’s averaging 24.3 points, 1.1 steals and 2.7 assists per game. Mitchell currently leads the Fever in scoring this year.
Boston joined Indiana as their first overall pick of the 2023 WNBA Draft. She won the WNBA Rookie of the Year Award, and she has been a WNBA All-Star for four straight seasons since entering the league.

Similar to Boston, Clark has been an All-Star since joining the league as the Fever’s top overall pick in 2024. She is considered the driving force behind Indiana’s resurgence with her elite-level play.
On Wednesday, Boston had some high praise for Mitchell. The Fever star declared Mitchell as her MVP.
While this is a great gesture for the Fever’s leading scorer, some saw Boston's comments as a knock on Clark. Renowned sportscaster Skip Bayless is one of them. The 74-year-old called out Boston’s MVP comments, pointing out that Clark is having an MVP season as well.
“Exactly what good does it do for Aliyah Boston to say that publicly about Kelsey Mitchell when a lot of people out there think Caitlin Clark is making a bid for MVP?” Bayless asked. “What good does it do Aliyah Boston to pick a side?”
“I don’t know if that meant of their team, of the league or both,” he added.
Bayless also accused Boston of being “Pro-Kelsey” during postgame interviews rather than supporting Clark.
Despite the noise surrounding the Fever’s Big 3, they have continued to be a single dominant unit on the floor.
Amid all the noise, the Fever are still on a roll, having won seven of their last 10 games. They are on track to surpass their 24-20 record last year and make another deep playoff run.
