Indiana Fever 2021 season: 6–26, scoring 75.3 points per game and allowing 85.1 (-9.8 average margin) across 32 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
Scouting report
The Fever finished 6–26, 12th in the league standings, with a -12.5 net rating that ranked 12th of 12. The problems ran both ways: 11th in offensive rating and 12th in defensive rating. Nothing jumped off the page as a strength, and the weak spots were shooting efficiency (45.2% eFG, 12th) and a lack of three-point volume (6.2 makes a game, 11th). The offense ran through Kelsey Mitchell, who scored 17.8 a night — 24% of the team's points, and she was also the one they can least afford to lose: +16.5 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 3-game winning streak (Jul 3–Jul 11) and a 13-point rout of the Liberty on Jul 9. The lows: a 12-game losing streak (May 25–Jul 1) and a 36-point loss at the Aces on May 28. They went 1–17 against teams at .500 or better and 2–7 in games decided by five or fewer. Bottom line: a difficult season, with Kelsey Mitchell the main reason to watch and its shot quality the most urgent fix.
