Will Kelsey Mitchell return to the Fever? Evaluating Caitlin Clark's third season | NBA Today

Seven hours old and already the busiest thing on the channel: "Will Kelsey Mitchell return to the Fever? Evaluating Caitlin Clark's third season" has Malika Andrews sitting down with Carolyn Peck and Chiney Ogwumike to sort through Indiana's first-round playoff exit and what comes next. Peck, who coached Purdue to a national title, and Ogwumike, a former No. 1 pick, are a sharp pair for that kind of post-mortem.

Posted the same day, and close behind it, was a much lighter guest. Hudson Butcher, the 8-year-old Utah Jazz superfan of the title, joined the show to talk about his viral video and meeting his favorite players. It is not every day that an NBA Today segment's star is a third grader.

The week's most watched upload came at the start. Allisha Gray, a four-time All-Star, talked about the intensity of the playoffs as the Atlanta Dream moved on to face the New York Liberty. Her comment section talks mostly about her laugh, her accent and the goggles she wears on court, and one viewer is surprised it was her first time on ESPN. A semifinal preview with Kendra Andrews and Alexa Philippou, and Gabby Williams before the Valkyries' elimination game against the Wings, filled out five uploads, nearly all of them about the WNBA.

The channel had a slower stretch than usual, with about 170,000 views over the week and the subscriber count holding at 389,000. Among the sports media channels nearest it in size, NFL on FOX and The Joel Klatt Show had the busy weeks, while Malika Andrews' channel sat near the quiet end, waiting on the next playoff game.
