Red-Hot Phoenix on 5-Game Tear & Refs Under Fire

The Commissioner’s Cup Championship is set: the Minnesota Lynx will host Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever on July 1. Jordan and Sheryl open the show breaking down how both teams got there, whether Napheesa Collier’s back injury could impact the outcome, and why referee accountability has become a critical subplot heading into the final. With escalating physicality and no suspensions after multiple flagrant fouls, the question looms—will someone get seriously hurt before the league steps in? Then, they shift focus to the red-hot Phoenix Mercury, now on a five-game win streak and sitting third in the standings. How is a team with no draft picks and limited time with their Big Three outperforming expectations? Plus, a full rundown of the week’s top games, rookie standouts, and Liberty’s recent slump. Finally, it’s Sending Flowers, presented by Cash App, where Leticia Amahere and Gabby Williams get their well-earned bouquets.
