Indiana Fever were super team, can they overcome injuries in WNBA playoffs?

INDIANAPOLIS — Kelsey Mitchell sits down for the Indiana Fever news conference after Game 3 of the WNBA semifinals against the Las Vegas Aces . Someone has placed the box score from the Fever’s 84-72 loss in front of all three members of the Fever at the podium. Coach Stephanie White and teammate Lexie Hull see the stat sheet. No response.

Kelsey Mitchell sees it and scowls. She knows what’s on there — she knows — but she can’t help herself. She looks at it again and shakes her head. Her eyebrows go up, and then her whole face disappears behind her left hand.
