Caitlin Clark was unable to play in the Commissioner’s Cup Final for the Indiana Fever, but she certainly was their MVP in the locker room following the team’s shocking win over the Minnesota Lynx.

The 23-year-old All-Star Clark is nursing a groin injury, but hopes to return this week as the regular season resumes.

Her teammates stepped up big time in her absence, as 8-8 Indiana on the season defeated the powerhouse 14-2 Minnesota team, 74-59, to claim the in-season tournament championship.

While the Commissioner’s Cup doesn’t count toward regular season standings, it does give the winning team a nice financial boost with a $500,000 prize pool, which the players will get a nice check from. In year’s past that was as much at $30k. Coinbase is also giving each player $5k in cryptocurrency to both the Fever and Lynx.

This led to some epic celebrations in the locker room after the game.

Clark was the star, however. She even served as the team’s bartender in a viral video.

While that’s awesome, so is this epic photobomb with Clark and teammates Makayla Timpson (left), Lexie Hull, Brianna Turner, and Sophie Cunningham.
