Indiana Fever triumphs over Lynx in the Commissioner’s Cup, showcasing teamwork and resilience despite Clark`s absence.

In a thrilling showdown, the Indiana Fever clinched the 2025 WNBA Commissioner’s Cup championship, overcoming the formidable Minnesota Lynx with a decisive 74-59 victory. Missing their star guard Caitlin Clark due to a groin injury, the Fever displayed remarkable resilience and teamwork. Natasha Howard emerged as the standout performer, contributing 16 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 assists, leading her team to an impressive comeback after trailing by 13 points early in the game.

The Fever`s defensive prowess was on full display as they stifled the Lynx, who boasted the best record in the league, to their worst offensive outing of the season, shooting just 34.9% from the floor. This victory not only highlights the Fever`s determination but also sets the stage for a promising future in the league.

In addition to the championship excitement, the WNBA announced a bold expansion plan, revealing that three new teams will join the league by 2030 in Cleveland, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This follows the recent addition of the Golden State Valkyries in 2025 and the upcoming teams in Toronto and Portland, bringing the total to 18 teams by 2030. The surge in teams reflects the growing popularity of women’s professional basketball, fueled by stars like Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, and Paige Bueckers. Fans can also look forward to WNBA Live 2025 at the Indiana Convention Center on July 18-19, further engaging the community.
