As the Commissioner's Cup continues, the Sun are getting ready to host Caitlin Clark and the Fever for a matchup in Connecticut Saturday.
Sitting at third in the Eastern Conference Cup standings, the Fever (7-5) are finally reaching a stride that seems maintainable. 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year Clark is currently averaging 18.7 points per game, and All-Star teammate Kelsey Mitchell (20.4) is one of only five players in the league averaging above 20 points per game.
The Fever will meet more of a struggling squad in Connecticut, who have yet to score a win in the Commissioner's Cup. The Sun (2-12) are led by the No. 7 overall pick in the 2025 draft, Aneesah Morrow, though even Morrow's double-digit boards are not helping to turn things around.
This marks the Sun's final year in Connecticut, as the franchise will relocate to Houston heading into the 2027 season.

Indiana Fever vs. Washington Mystics - 2025 WNBA regular season © Imagn ImagesOnce again, Caitlin Clark’s fanbase is up in arms following fiery comments from Joy Taylor. This week, the former Fox Sports commentator delivered a scathing criticism of Clark’s supporters while giving the Indiana Fever star her flowers for her recent heroics.
In the TikTok clip, Taylor had savory words for Clark’s fans, whom she accused of being a toxic collective within the WNBA community.
“Caitlin has become an incredibly controversial figure in sports. She has a very feral fanbase, not always necessarily the most educated fanbase when it comes to the W.”
Taylor piled on Clark’s fans for their adverse reactions to her arguments with referees. As for Clark herself, Taylor said that she was glad to see the two-time WNBA All-Star steer the discourse back to the sport.
“On Monday, she did what she is famous for, which is hitting a clutch three-pointer…I like seeing this moment and her having the opportunity to get that win.”
Taylor is referring to the June 8 matchup between the Fever and the Washington Mystics, in which Clark hit the first game-winning shot of her WNBA career. By sealing the 78-76 victory for Indiana, CC made fans focus more on her clutch gene rather than her quarrels with officials.
Sophie Cunningham Denies Rumors That She Was Suspended After Posting Caitlin Clark MemeIn that Monday night game against the Mystics, it was Sophie Cunningham who threw the inbounds pass that led to Clark’s game-winner. Following the game, Cunningham shared a meme suggesting that she and Clark didn’t exactly follow the play drawn up by head coach Stephanie Fever.
On an episode of her “Show Me Something” podcast, Cunningham clarified that she wasn’t in hot water for posting this meme.
“I saw that and we all thought it was hilarious and everybody thinks I was suspended. No.”
Cunningham clarified that the play was designed for none other than Clark to get open, courtesy of a Lexie Hull cross screen.

A’ja Wilson. | Getty Images What was on pace to become the preeminent WNBA rivalry appeared to be put on pause.
On Saturday night, we might find out that it is, in fact, back on. Undefeated Commissioner’s Cup combatants meet in Sin City, with the Las Vegas Aces hosting the Minnesota Lynx.
The 4-0 Lynx sit atop the Western Conference Cup table with an overwhelming +81 point differential, a mark of dominance that makes the second-place Aces’ +41 point differential seem modest. Yet, if the Aces can protect homecourt and snap the Lynx’s eight-game winning streak, they’ll claim the Cup lead.
It’s a battle befitting for the primetime stage, as the action will tip off at 8 p.m. ET on CBS, and one that could cause the bad blood between these two teams to again begin to burble.
Last season, the Lynx (in)famously obliterated the Aces in Vegas in a 53-point win that became the largest road victory in WNBA history. Of course, the beatdown did not bury the Aces; it, instead, brought them back to life. Vegas would not lose again in the 2025 regular season, finishing off the season on a 16-game run that would fuel their eventual sprint to the 2025 WNBA title.
Along the way, they secured a revenge win against the Lynx, with A’ja Wilson’s 31-point performance on 80 percent shooting not only powering Vegas to the 10-point win, but also sealing her fourth M’VP over Napheesa Collier, who had a quiet 12 points on less than 40 percent shooting.
For much of the season, Collier was favored to steal the crown from Wilson. But that fateful game in Vegas proved to be a turning point. Collier suffered an ankle sprain late in the third quarter, an injury that can be interpreted as a cruel twist of fate or karmic retribution for suspected stat padding, depending on your allegiances. The injury sidelined Collier, and ultimately shelved her seemingly fated MVP triumph.
The Lynx, in contrast to the Aces, then experienced a disastrous playoffs, eliminated by the Phoenix Mercury in the semifinals as Collier suffered an injury to her other ankle. Those injured ankles eventually required offseason surgeries that have delayed Collier’s 2026 season debut.
With Collier absent, Minnesota was expected to flounder in the middle of the standings, presenting no real threat to Vegas and their title defense.
Thus, a rivalry simmering with spice had seemingly cooled. This season, there would be no need for head coaches Cheryl Reeve and Becky Hammon to trade barbs in postgame pressers, touting their team and their star while shading the other.
And yet, here we are. The Phee-less Lynx are leading the league, as the Aces, once again driven by heroic efforts from A’ja, are on their heels.
On Saturday, will the Lynx and their systems and schemes, albeit enhanced in new ways by ascendant rookie point guard Olivia Miles, prove superior? Or will the Aces remind that stars, particularly T’HE star, are what distinguish great teams from very good ones?
Even without the Commissioner’s Cup implications, this might be the most consequential contest of the season so far. What do you think? Post your predictions in the comments.
Checking in on the Cup consequences of Fever-Sun, Wings-Fire and Sparks-MercuryIndiana Fever vs. Connecticut Sun (6 p.m. ET, NBCSN): The Sun are eliminated from the Cup. With a win, the Fever remain alive with just one Cup loss. However, as that loss came to the East-leading New York Liberty, they need two Liberty losses to jump into the East lead. Considering the Liberty’s final two Cup games are against the Washington Mystics and Chicago Sky, Fever fans shouldn’t start planning for a return to the Cup final.Dallas Wings vs. Portland Fire (8:30 p.m. ET, WNBA League Pass): Out of Cup contention, the Fire would at least like to get the franchise’s first Cup win. The 3-1 Wings will be motivated to prevent it. Winning, and winning big, keeps them in the Western Conference Cup hunt. They’ll also be rooting for Aces, before then preparing to beat them next week and force a three-way tie at the top of the West table.Los Angeles Sparks vs. Phoenix Mercury (10 p.m. ET, WNBA League Pass): Technically, these teams can tells themselves that still have a chance in the Cup chase. However, barring some absurd, outlier outcomes, it’s almost impossible that either the 2-3 Sparks or, especially, the 2-3 Mercury become the West’s Cup representative.
