Liberty Host Fever in Commissioner's Cup at Barclays Center

A national telecast will test Caitlin Clark's comeback, highlight New York's injury uncertainty, and shape early Cup positioning.

Overview

  • The game will tip off at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday, June 6, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and will air on CBS with streaming available on Paramount+.
  • Caitlin Clark is expected to play despite recent back soreness and a brief illness during Indiana's win over Atlanta, and she is averaging almost 20 points since returning from 2025 injuries.
  • The Liberty enter on a three-game winning streak at 6-4 overall while coach Chris DeMarco listed Sabrina Ionescu as "questionable" after she was a full participant in Friday practice.
  • This matchup is part of the WNBA's Commissioner's Cup, a June 1–17 in-season tournament with a $500,000 prize pool whose results do not count toward regular-season standings.
  • Oddsmakers list New York as a 2.5-point favorite with an over/under of 175.5 and the Fever — 5-4 overall and 1-0 in Cup play — enter as last year's Cup champions after beating the Liberty in preseason action when Clark showed rust.
