Caitlin Clark Calls Out Commissioner for Payout Being More for in-Season Tournament than WNBA Title: 'Someone Tell Cathy to Help Us Out'

  • On July 2, 2025, Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever won the Commissioner's Cup by defeating the Minnesota Lynx 74-59 in Minneapolis.
  • Clark highlighted a pay disparity, noting the Commissioner's Cup awards higher individual payouts than the WNBA championship, sparking criticism and discussion.
  • The Fever's 2025 Commissioner's Cup win awarded players up to $30,000 each plus $5,000 in cryptocurrency, exceeding the approximately $20,000 WNBA championship bonus.
  • Clark stated, "You get more for this than you do if you're a champion" and called on Commissioner Cathy Engelbert to address the imbalance.
  • The current collective bargaining agreement, expiring after the 2025 season, includes postseason payouts and is expected to prioritize fairer player compensation going forward.
