Stephanie White backs Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell as MVP candidates

Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White endorsed Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell as legitimate MVP candidates ahead of a game against the Toronto Tempo. The Fever, with a 27-14 record, are playoff-bound for the third consecutive year, largely due to the performances of Mitchell, who recently set a new league scoring record, and Clark, who ranks third in scoring and leads in assists. Social media reactions have been mixed, with some fans arguing for Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson as the frontrunner. The Fever face the Tempo as Mitchell looks to further her scoring achievements.
