Caitlin Clark day-to-day as Fever meet mighty Lynx for Commissioner’s Cup

MINNEAPOLIS — Caitlin Clark stopped short of promising that she would be healthy enough to take part in Tuesday night’s WNBA Commissioner’s Cup final between the Indiana Fever and Minnesota Lynx.

However, Clark did not rule out returning from a groin injury.

“I’m going to be day-to-day,” Clark said. “Doing everything I can to put myself in position to play the next game. That’s always my goal.”

The Fever (8-8) could use their top player in their highest-profile game of the season. They will play the Lynx (14-2) in the championship game of the league’s in-season tourney, which comes with a $500,000 prize pool and donations to the winning and losing team’s chosen charities.

The Lynx are looking to post back-to-back titles after winning the Commissioner’s Cup against the New York Liberty in 2024. The Liberty got their revenge over the Lynx in the WNBA Finals.

Lynx star Napheesa Collier said she expects an intense atmosphere in Minneapolis.

“I think it’s going to feel like a playoff game,” Collier said. “It’s going to be really fun. Our fans show up for us every game, but especially in that environment. … It’s going to be electrifying.”

The chance of Clark’s return only adds to the drama. Clark grew up in neighboring Iowa as an avid fan of the Lynx, and she has drawn throngs of supporters in Minnesota during her collegiate career with the Iowa Hawkeyes as well as during her first season in the WNBA.

Kelsey Mitchell leads the Fever with 18.9 points per game this season. Clark ranks second with 18.2 points to go along with 5.0 rebounds and a team-high 8.9 assists.

This will be the Fever’s first appearance in the Commissioner’s Cup title game.

“These are the moments we’re going to look back on,” Clark said. “Everybody’s been through a little bit of adversity here. (I’m) giving our group credit for being able to stick together and know that whatever’s in our locker room is all we need to win.

“Really proud of our group, every single day.”

Collier feels the same way about the Lynx. She leads the team with 24.4 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, and she has appeared in back-to-back games after a back injury sidelined her for the previous two contests.

Kayla McBride averages 15.8 points for Minnesota, and Courtney Williams rounds out the top three scorers with 12.9 points per contest. She also ranks fourth in the WNBA with 6.0 assists per game.

Lynx guard Karlie Samuelson left her most recent game because of a foot injury, and her status for Tuesday night is uncertain. She is averaging 3.3 points in 16 games (four starts).

The Fever will be without forward Damiris Dantas, who is playing for Brazil in an international tournament. Dantas is averaging 5.0 points in 13 games off the bench.
