STAMFORD, Conn. – June 4, 2026 – Two-time WNBA All-Star Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever (4-4) visit 2025 No. 3 overall pick Sonia Citron and the Washington Mystics (4-4) at CareFirst Arena in Washington, D.C., Monday, June 8, at 7 p.m. ET on Peacock and NBCSN. Live coverage begins with WNBA Showtime featuring Naismith Basketball Hall of Famers and analysts Sue Bird and Cheryl Miller and host LaChina Robinson.
Clark is off to another All-Star level season, leading the WNBA in assists (8.1 APG) and ranking fifth in scoring. Clark, one of only four players in the league averaging more than 20 points per game (20.1 PPG), is joined by fellow Fever guard and three-time WNBA All-Star Kelsey Mitchell, the league’s fourth-leading scorer, to form the only pair of teammates both passing the 20+ points per game threshold. The Fever also feature three-time WNBA All-Star Aliyah Boston and three-time Missouri NCAA All-American Sophie Cunningham.
Coming off a rookie season that saw her earn both All-Star and All-Rookie Team selections, Citron is averaging 17.7 points per game, ranking 12th in the WNBA – including a career-high 30-point outburst in an overtime win against the Fever on May 15. The Mystics also feature Kiki Iriafen, who was picked one spot after Citron in the 2025 WNBA Draft (No. 4) and ranks third in the WNBA in rebounding, as well as 2026 No. 4 overall pick and 2026 NCAA champion and NCAA Tournament MVP Lauren Betts.
Monday’s contest also doubles as a WNBA Commissioner’s Cup game, the WNBA’s annual in-season competition featuring a 49-game schedule from June 1-17. The team from each conference with the best record in Commissioner’s Cup games will compete in the Championship Game of the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup presented by Coinbase on June 30.
