Caitlin Clark sarcastically moved on from Fever-Sun scuffle questions
Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark sarcastically implored the media to ask questions about basketball after multiple scuffles broke out during a Tuesday matchup with the Connecticut Sun.
The Fever's matchup with the Sun went completely off the rails several times en route to an 88-71 Indiana win. The game ended with six technical fouls, two flagrant fouls and three ejections after jawing between Clark and Connecticut guard Jacy Sheldon escalated into further dustups. The pair were already going back and forth when Sheldon poked Clark in the eye. Sheldon then bumped Clark, and Clark responded by pushing Sheldon. Sheldon's teammate, Marina Mabrey, came into the fray and pushed Clark to the ground.
Things continued to be intense throughout the game. In the waning moments of the matchup, after Sheldon stole a ball and initiated contact with Fever guard Sophie Cunningham while in transition, Cunningham fouled Sheldon by grabbing her around the head and neck area and pushing her to the court. That sequence initiated a huge scuffle between both teams.
Postgame, the media had questions about what happened, the officiating and more. However, at a certain point in the presser, there was silence after a question was answered, and a voice can be heard seemingly asking to talk about the game. That's when Clark jumped in. "You guys came for basketball. Let's talk about basketball. Come on now," she said.
A media member began to ask a question moments later, but Clark almost immediately interrupted."We're going to the Commissioner's Cup. That's pretty exciting. Y'all wanna talk about that? Let's talk about that," she quipped.

Fever's spot in Commissioner's Cup final adds to 'brutal stretch,' but it's a good problem to have
INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White had a specific, and maybe slightly unusual, task for her assistant coaches on Tuesday night: track the score of the Atlanta Dream's game at New York. Usually, coaching staffs don't take the time to worry about the scores around the league when they're coaching their own game. This time, though, it was different. Indiana needed help from New York in order to make it to the Commissioner's Cup final for the first time in franchise history. 'Yeah, our bench was tracking it,' White said to laughs from her players, Caitlin Clark and Natasha Howard, sitting beside her. 'I didn't even know that, so,' Clark responded. Stephanie White sounds off on refs: 'Everybody's getting better, except the officials.' 'Stupid foul... just disrespectful.' Sun coach decries late Sophie Cunningham flagrant The Commissioner's Cup is the WNBA's in-season tournament, and pool play to get into the final wrapped up Tuesday night. For Indiana to make it to the Commissioner's Cup final (and compete for a half-million dollar prize pool), the Fever needed to win against Connecticut and New York needed to beat Atlanta. Indiana, Atlanta and New York all came into the final day of pool play with just one loss. Atlanta held the head-to-head over Indiana, while Indiana held the head-to-head over New York. So, the Fever became Liberty fans for just one night. The Liberty trailed by as much as 10 points Tuesday night but rallied back to beat Atlanta, 86-81. That gave New York a 4-1 record in pool play, while Atlanta had a 3-2 record. Indiana beat Connecticut, 88-71, around the same time, giving the Fever a 4-1 record in pool play and the berth to the Commissioner's Cup championship. It, of course, came directly after a game that was filled with melees. The game had six technical fouls, three ejections and two flagrants, with most of it stemming from two separate dustups in the second half. But the Fever aren't focused on that. They're hitting their stride, and they're headed to the Commissioner's Cup final for the first time in the five-year history of the in-season tournament. 'Obviously, we're excited. That's a big deal,' Clark said. 'And, you know, obviously New York helped us out a little bit to get there. And it's a hard thing to do, and why wouldn't we celebrate that we're getting to play for a pool of money, like, that's pretty fun, and you're competing to win a trophy. It's an extra game for us to get better as well. So obviously, we celebrated it, and we're proud of that.' The Fever will play at Minnesota on July 1 for the Commissioner's Cup championship. The Lynx are the reigning Cup champions, beating New York for the title last year. The Fever have never made the Commissioner's Cup finals in the five-year history of the in-season tournament. The two teams will play for a $500,000 prize pool that is split among the winning team, which comes out to about $45,000 per player. Every player in the Cup final will also get at least $5,000 in cryptocurrency from Coinbase. This extra game, though, will come in a tough stretch for the Fever. Indiana is going on a road trip starting Thursday, playing at Golden State on June 19, Las Vegas on June 22 and Seattle on June 24. They then only have one day to travel back to Indianapolis and rest before a home-and-away back-to-back where they host Los Angeles on June 26 then travel to Dallas for a game on June 27. If the Fever didn't have the Commissioner's Cup final, they would've had five days off before another game on July 3. But the finals come on July 1, continuing a grueling stretch for Indiana that will last until the All-Star break in mid-July. 'We're also preparing for a brutal stretch of, what … six (games) in 11 days where we go from the West Coast to come home and back-to-back, then back to Dallas," White said. "I mean, it's our job to manage those things, those two things. If we're not competing for the Commissioner's Cup, the minutes are different, right? If we are, it looks different. It's the game within the game.'

Will Caitlin Clark challenge Napheesa Collier for 2025 MVP?
The post Will Caitlin Clark challenge Napheesa Collier for 2025 MVP? appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Indiana Fever are certainly glad to have Caitlin Clark back on the court. Clark led Indiana to 102-88 win over New York on Saturday, handing the Liberty their first loss of the season. Clark scored 32 points, including seven three-pointers, in her return after a five-game absence following a quad injury. Now she is receiving MVP hype after her big game. Advertisement Natalie Esquire of NBCSports made a bold claim about Caitlin Clark after Saturday's huge win against the Liberty. Esquire believes that Clark has the best chance to challenge Lynx superstar Napheesa Collier for MVP in 2025. 'Obviously still very early, but right now the only player that will likely challenge [Collier] for MVP this season is Caitlin Clark,' Esquire wrote on social media on Saturday. She added that the Fever would likely need to improve their record, and win some head-to-head matchups against the Lynx, to add to Clark's resume. Clark was on fire against the Liberty. She logged 32 points, nine assists, eight rebounds, two blocks, and one steal in 31 minutes on Saturday. Advertisement Earlier in the season, Clark was the favorite to win MVP. But Collier surpassed her as the betting favorite after Clark's quad injury. There is some truth to Esquire's bold claim, especially when looking at the betting markets after Saturday's games. There is a huge gulf between Clark's odds (+310) and third-place Brenna Stewart (+4500). Clark and the Fever will need to keep the pressure on if she wants to seriously challenge Collier for MVP. Kelsey Mitchell credits 'resilience' for Fever's huge win against Liberty Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images The Liberty made the Fever play a complete forty minutes to get a win on Saturday. Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell was asked after the game what she likes about her team's recent performances. Mitchell claimed that Indiana's resilience is helping them win games. Advertisement 'Our resilience. I think when the going gets tough and stuff happens, bad stuff and good stuff, it's about staying neutral and staying neutralized and I think we did that for the whole game,' Mitchell said. Mitchell played an important role in the victory, logging 22 points that included a handful of important three-point shots. She led the Fever with 34 minutes alongside Lexie Hull. Indiana is now 5-5 on the 2025 season after defeating New York. Now that Clark is back, the Fever will look to start stacking some wins. Next up for the Fever is a home game against the Sun on Tuesday night.

Fever's Caitlin Clark out-duels Sabrina Ionescu to hand Liberty first 2025 loss
The post Fever's Caitlin Clark out-duels Sabrina Ionescu to hand Liberty first 2025 loss appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Indiana Fever avenged a controversial two-point loss to the New York Liberty on May 24 with a resounding 102-88 win Saturday afternoon. In her return from injury, Caitlin Clark led the team with 32 points in an epic duel with Sabrina Ionescu, who ended with 34. Advertisement Clark and Ionescu posted identical 11-for-20 shooting numbers. While Clark did most of her damage in the first half, Ionescu spread her performance out evenly across her 38 minutes. Clark also went 7-for-17 from deep, including a ridiculous sequence with three consecutive deep-range three-pointers in under a minute. The result gave the Liberty their first loss of the season. They dropped to 9-1 on the year, becoming the final team in the WNBA to suffer their first defeat. Clark's return ended a five-game absence with a quad strain she suffered during the Fever and Liberty's last meeting. Despite the injury, Clark still posted 18 points and 10 assists in that game before suffering a close loss in the final seconds. In two games against New York, Clark is averaging 25 points, 6.5 rebounds, 9.5 assists and 4.5 three-pointers per game. Fever, Liberty to face each other twice more in 2025 Wendell Cruz-USA TODAY Sports The Fever and Liberty are not viewed as rivals, but are quickly developing a competitive tension between them. Both early-season matchups were featured on national television and were two of the most-watched games of the year. Advertisement Indiana and New York will meet two more times in the 2025 regular season. The final two matchups will occur on July 16 and July 22, both at the Barclays Center. The third meeting will commence just before the All-Star break, with the final regular season matchup bringing both teams out of the break. With the Liberty coming off a championship and Clark driving ratings through the roof, the matchups feature two of the most popular teams in the league. They are also two of the best teams in the league, despite what the Fever's record suggests. Indiana is 3-2 with Clark in the lineup and losing the two games by an average of 1.5 points.
