Indiana Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell said she plans to prioritize her own interests as she weighs her options heading into unrestricted free agency, with both general manager Amber Cox and head coach Stephanie White confirming Saturday that retaining Mitchell is one of the team's top offseason priorities.
Mitchell, who becomes an unrestricted free agent, has been a significant contributor for the Fever, and her potential departure or re-signing is expected to be one of the more closely watched storylines of the WNBA offseason for the franchise.
Cox and White both acknowledged the importance of keeping Mitchell on the roster, signaling that the front office intends to make a strong effort to re-sign her rather than risk losing her to another team in free agency.
Mitchell's comment about being 'selfish' reflects a focus on finding the situation that best suits her own career and personal priorities as she enters negotiations, rather than feeling obligated to any particular outcome before the free agency process unfolds.
No contract agreement has been reported, and the free agency process remains ongoing.
