The Indiana Fever, representing the East, have had a roller-coaster campaign, similar to what many teams around the league have experienced. While the first-place Lynx (14-2) are the defending Commissioner's Cup champions, the Fever (8-8) are appearing in the Cup final for the first time since the WNBA's in-season competition debuted in 2021. She leads the WNBA in scoring (24.5 PPG) and was MVP of last year's Commissioner's Cup final, which the Lynx won over the New York Liberty 94-89. Last season, the Lynx and Liberty played the Cup final before a big crowd at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York. They've been in the Finals, been in big situations, won the Commissioner's Cup last year," Clark said.
