In a video shared on X by the Fever, coach Stephanie White gathered her players to deliver a brief announcement: guard Kelsey Mitchell had been named the WNBA’s Eastern Conference Player of the Week for Week 11 of the 2025 season.

The Fever are navigating a difficult stretch that includes the absence of Colson (ACL), McDonald (broken foot) and Clark (right groin), who has not played since mid-July. Clark’s return remains uncertain heading into mid-August, as medical staff proceed cautiously to ensure she’s fully healthy before returning.

Bria Goss (analysis) Fever coach Stephanie White said August 21 that Caitlin Clark is working her way back but has not fully participated in a practice. Clark has not played since suffering a right groin injury on July 15.
