After two consecutive losses, the Indiana Fever grabbed a win to make it a winner-take-all Game 5. But despite every possible effort, challenges are not going down for the Indiana Fever. With five season-ending injuries already on their plate, Indy’s Game 5 night has just gotten a lot more intense.

Late in the third quarter, Fever star Aliyah Boston picked up her fifth foul on a hard screen, putting her in major jeopardy for the crucial closing minutes. Losing Boston at this stage could dramatically impact Indiana’s inside presence and rebounding dominance, but she isn’t the only one Indy’s scared of losing.

Kelsey Mitchell is on that list too. As if AB’s fifth foul wasn’t enough, moments later, Kel went down under the basket with an apparent knee issue. Her teammates and staff rushed in to shield her with towels, a dramatic sign of concern. Suddenly, hush fell over the arena as the stretcher was rolled out for her. Then, she was carried off the court, unable to put any weight on her right leg. Well, this is a huge blow, considering Mitchell has been outstanding this postseason, averaging 23.3 points per game to drive the team offensively.
