1. Kelsey Mitchell Stays with Indiana 🏀

Kelsey Mitchell is re-signing with the Indiana Fever on a one-year supermax deal ($249,244). The No. 2 overall pick in 2018 is coming off a stellar season and, as a cored free agent, had the opportunity to go elsewhere through a trade. Instead, she chose to return for her eighth season with the franchise. (Indiana Fever)

WHY IT MATTERS: Mitchell’s decision signals confidence in the Fever’s future. The Fever are coming off their first playoff appearance since 2016, and keeping Mitchell ensures their high-powered backcourt remains intact.

With Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark entering her sophomore season, two-time All-Star Aliyah Boston continuing to develop, and veteran coach Stephanie White taking the helm, Indiana is shaping up to be a serious contender.

2. Ta’Niya Latson Can’t Be Ignored 🔥

Florida State’s Ta’Niya Latson is leading the nation in scoring—and she’s making sure everyone takes notice. This week alone, she was named ACC Player of the Week for the second straight time and earned a spot as one of five National Players of the Week by the USBWA. She capped it off with a clutch game-winning layup with 3.2 seconds left, securing the Seminoles’ first ranked win of the season. (Florida State)

WHY IT MATTERS: Latson may not always dominate national headlines, but she belongs in the National Player of the Year conversation. Her ability to take over games in pressure moments makes her one of the most electrifying scorers in college basketball.

Don’t miss her clutch game-winner—watch it here.

3. Vandersloot Returns to Chicago 🏆

Courtney Vandersloot is heading back to where it all started. After two seasons with the New York Liberty—where she helped lead the team to a WNBA championship last year—the league’s all-time assists leader has signed a deal to return to the Chicago Sky, the franchise that drafted her. (NBC Chicago)

WHY IT MATTERS: Vandersloot is one of the greatest point guards in WNBA history, and her return brings veteran leadership to a young Sky team under a new coaching staff. With her elite playmaking and court vision, Chicago’s guard-big connection just got a whole lot more dynamic.
