Mitchell is in her eighth season in the WNBA after entering the league in 2016 as a ninth overall pick by the Indiana Fever. She went on to spend the first seven years of her career in Indiana before testing free agency this offseason and choosing the Lynx as her second WNBA team. In 2023, she has taken on a new role in Minnesota while spending most of the first quarter of the season as the starting point guard for the first time as a pro.

Make sure to also read our feature story on Mitchell from last week.

— How the start of the season has gone for Mitchell and the Lynx.
