The Washington Mystics travel to Gainbridge Fieldhouse to play their first WNBA Commissioner’s Cup game of the season against the Indiana Fever. Both teams are off to similar starts this season. The Fever are fourth in the Eastern Conference (2-4) and trail the Mystics in third (3-4) by half a game.

Indiana has faltered since losing Caitlin Clark to a quadriceps strain and is on a three-game losing streak, dropping games to the New York Liberty, Washington Mystics and the Connecticut Sun.

Meanwhile, the Mystics have enjoyed a strong start, thanks to the stellar performances of rookies Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen, drafted with the third and fourth picks, respectively. Veteran Brittney Sykes has also been key for Washington, averaging 21.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists.

While there’s not a lot separating the two teams, the Fever are expected to have a tough time, as they are dealing with significant injuries.
