Chicago Sky, Indiana Fever Play in WNBA First Primetime Network Game at United Center

The WNBA Commissioner’s Cup features three key games on June 7, including the Las Vegas Aces facing the Golden State Valkyries and the Indiana Fever playing the Chicago Sky in the first-ever WNBA regular-season game broadcast in primetime on network television at the United Center. The Chicago Sky, despite a rough start to the season, have gained momentum with two consecutive wins and will look to test their progress against the Fever, who will be without star Caitlin Clark due to injury. The Fever previously dominated the Sky 93-58, but the Sky’s recent improved physical play and standout performances from players like Ariel Atkins add intrigue to the rematch. Meanwhile, the Golden State Valkyries aim to break a four-game losing streak against the strong Aces and reigning MVP A’ja Wilson. Additionally, Marina Mabrey of the Connecticut Sun has demonstrated her scoring ability with a 34-point performance, highlighting her importance to her team despite past struggles and trade requests. The historic primetime game also includes a special halftime show, emphasizing the growing popularity and celebration of the WNBA's 20th season.
