Rookie Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever have completed a much-needed four-day break, and it remains to be seen whether the Fever are refreshed when they visit the Washington Mystics on Friday night in a Commissioner’s Cup battle between the two worst teams in the WNBA.

The Connecticut Sun and the Washington Mystics are both off to historic starts in 2024, but for different reasons. Connecticut is 8-0 for the first time in franchise history, while Washington’s 0-8 start is tied for its worst ever.

The Washington Mystics have struggled to score amid their worst start in 17 years entering Wednesday’s home game against the Atlanta Dream.
