Indiana Fever fans were hoping that star guard Caitlin Clark's groin injury would be healed enough for her to take the court against the Minnesota Lynx on July

Caitlin Clark Getting Praised for What She Did Before Fever-Lynx Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Caitlin Clark headed into Tuesday's Commissioner's Cup championship against the Minnesota Lynx as a game-time decision, which meant that there was some hope that she would be able to suit up for the Indiana Fever.

The Fever defeated the favored Minnesota Lynx 74-59 in the championship game of the WNBA Commissioner's Cup, earning a $500,000 prize pool plus a smaller cryptocurrency sum for each player. They did it despite missing Clark for a third-straight game due to a groin injury.
