Indiana Fever Win First Commissioner's Cup, Celebrate With Caitlin Clark

The Indiana Fever celebrated their first-ever 2025 WNBA Commissioner's Cup Championship with a 74-59 victory over the Minnesota Lynx, marking a significant early-season triumph that earned each player around $30,000 in bonuses. Although star guard Caitlin Clark did not play due to a left groin injury, she was a central figure in the celebrations, notably shotgunning beer and leading postgame festivities, which drew wide attention and praise from sports personalities like Pat McAfee. The team’s balanced offensive effort, highlighted by Natasha Howard who was named Commissioner's Cup MVP, was key to their victory. The celebrations featured champagne showers, playful antics, and even social media trolling, reflecting the team's strong camaraderie and Clark's competitive spirit. Despite Clark's inconsistent season and injury setbacks, her spirited involvement off the court underscored her leadership and enthusiasm for the team's success. The Fever now prepare to continue their regular season, with Clark expected to return to play in their upcoming game against the Las Vegas Aces.
