After they dominated the Connecticut Sun on Friday night, Indiana Fever duo Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell remain squarely in the WNBA MVP debate.
Is there a possibility that voters will see fit to give each guard a share of the league's most coveted individual award?
The Fever seems to think so, as a new social media campaign has seen Clark and Mitchell called Indiana's "MVP squared."

There is recent precedent for two players splitting one of the WNBA's top individual awards.
In 2025, Alanna Smith and A'ja Wilson shared Defensive Player of the Year honors. It marked the first instance in WNBA history where one of its major awards was shared by two players.

Indiana enters the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup break having won 12 of its past 16 games. The Fever holds sole possession of the No.4 seed ahead of the WNBA playoffs, which begin in under a month's time.
Clark and Mitchell both went off for 34 points in the Fever's 111-91 win over the Sun on Friday -- and at 47.5 points per game, they are the highest-scoring backcourt duo in WNBA history.
Mitchell has extended her record of consecutive 20-point games with 24 in a row, while Clark recorded her sixth career game of at least 30 points and 10 assists.
Neither Clark nor Mitchell is among the WNBA MVP favorites, but there's no doubt as to how important the All-Star guards have been to the Fever. Indiana has a franchise-record 26 wins and a .650 winning percentage this season, in large part thanks to their team co-MVPs.
