The excitement is building for the 2025 WNBA Commissioner’s Cup Championship as the Indiana Fever prepare to take on the Minnesota Lynx in what promises to be a memorable battle for midseason bragging rights.
Scheduled for Tuesday, July 1, the game arrives with added drama surrounding the possible return of Caitlin Clark, who is recovering from a groin injury and remains day-to-day leading up to the final.
“Anybody who’s had some of these types of injuries understands that sometimes it’s a process,” Fever coach Stephanie White said. “She’s a quick healer, and she’s been doing everything she can to get back on the floor. We just want to make sure we’re hyper-sensitive to the big picture.”
The injury initially began as a quad issue and has sidelined her at a pivotal moment. The Fever have not ruled her out, but with limited details from the team, fans are eagerly waiting for an update on whether the No. 1 pick will suit up for her first shot at WNBA hardware.
