Indiana Fever Win WNBA Commissioner's Cup Without Injured Caitlin Clark

The Indiana Fever captured their first WNBA Commissioner's Cup with a 74-59 victory over the Minnesota Lynx, despite missing their star guard Caitlin Clark due to a groin injury. Natasha Howard led the team with 16 points, 12 rebounds, and four assists, earning MVP honors, while Aliyah Boston and several others contributed significantly to a balanced offensive effort. The Fever overcame an early deficit by tightening their defense, holding the Lynx to their worst offensive night of the season, including a low three-point shooting percentage. Clark, sidelined but present at the game, actively participated in the postgame celebrations and supported her teammates from the sidelines. Coach Stephanie White praised her team's resilience and confidence in stepping up without their star player. The win not only secures the title but also brings a substantial financial reward to the team, reinforcing their momentum as they continue the season.
