Former WNBA Coach Says Fever are 'More Dangerous' Without Caitlin Clark originally appeared on Athlon Sports. For the past four games, the Indiana Fever have been without star guard Caitlin Clark as she nurses a groin injury.

Fresh off the Fever’s Commissioner's Cup win, Caitlin Clark took a victory lap—and then took aim at the league. On Sydney Colson’s IG Live, Clark joked they’d won the Cathy Cup before getting serious about the payday disparity and calling out the league commissioner as she said it was shocking that they get more money for winning the Commissioner’s Cup than they do as WNBA Finals champion.

The WNBA Commissioner's Cup sometimes feels like a trophy in search of a purpose. A mid-season tournament might seem like a stretch in a league with an already packed schedule. But the cup serves as a trial by fire.
