How to watch New York Liberty vs. Indiana Fever: Live stream Caitlin Clark's return to the WNBA
Caitlin Clark returns to the WNBA after a three-week-long injury break for the latest game in the Commissioner's Cup. Below, we've outlined how to watch the New York Liberty vs. Indiana Fever and what time you can expect the game to tip off. The Fever and Liberty most recently faced off on May 24, the last game that Clark played before taking some time off to deal with a quad strain. It was a tight match-up for all four quarters, but the Liberty ultimately pulled ahead 90-88. The Liberty are the reigning champions and currently 9-0, the only team still undefeated this season after the Seattle Storm took out the Minnesota Lynx on Wednesday night. The Fever, who will play host for today's game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, have had a rockier start to the season. They're currently 4-5, but still rank second in the Eastern Conference Commissioner's Cup rankings.
