Indiana Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell injured, out for Game 5
Indiana Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell has been ruled out for the remainder of Game 5, the team announced in a statement Tuesday.
Mitchell went down with an injury with 5:05 remaining in the third quarter as the Fever trailed the Aces, 59-55. Fever players surrounded Mitchell with towels as she laid on her back. Mitchell subsequently rolled over onto her stomach while team staff appeared to stretch her leg.
The ESPN broadcast initially reported that Mitchell was suffering from a cramp, but a stretcher was then brought on the floor, signaling something more. Mitchell didn’t get on the stretcher, but was carried to the locker room by team staff. She couldn’t put any pressure on her left leg.
