Fever Open Commissioner's Cup Defense as Caitlin Clark Tries to End a 2-Game Shooting Slump
Indiana seeks to repeat as Commissioner's Cup champion as Caitlin Clark tries to shake a 4-for-19 slump after two straight losses.
Aiming to repeat as champions, the Fever open their Commissioner's Cup defense this week as Clark seeks to end a two-game slump where she shot 4-for-19 from the field.
Beginning Monday, June 1, the Cup features a $500,000 prize for the winning team and $200,000 in charitable donations, with the best conference records advancing to the championship game.
During Saturday's loss to Portland, Clark played only 22 minutes due to foul trouble, calling the stretch "just basketball" while noting her need to improve defensive positioning.
Minnesota now holds the top spot in The Associated Press power poll, and Dallas' Jessica Shepard earned player of the week honors after recording her second triple-double.
Coach Sandy Brondello returns to New York on Wednesday to face the Liberty with her expansion Tempo team, which currently sits above.500 early in the season.
