Tonight marks the conclusion of the WNBA seasonal tournament, featuring a championship matchup between the defending champions, Minnesota Lynx, and the Indiana Fever.
The Fever secured their place in the finals partly due to a win by the New York Liberty, which stopped Atlanta from claiming the final necessary victory to advance. Indiana has performed well, finishing with a 4-1 record in the tournament. Notably, they achieved some of these wins without star player Caitlyn Clark, who is sidelined with an injury. According to updates from the Fever, Clark will not be playing tonight.
The Minnesota Lynx find themselves in a familiar spot, having made it back to the title game for the second consecutive year. They’ve been strong contenders throughout the tournament, wrapping up their run with a 5-1 record.
Tonight’s game offers an enticing prize pool of $500,000. Players from the winning team could take home as much as $30,000 each, while those on the losing side could earn up to $10,000. Moreover, each team has aligned with a charity for the tournament; Minnesota has chosen to support the ACLU of Minnesota, while Indiana has partnered with the Peace Learning Center.
