WNBA gameday discussion: Two more Commissioner's Cup rematches? Lynx-Liberty and Sky-Aces will keep the Cup vibes alive

The WNBA Commissioner's Cup is over, but Friday’s rematch possibilities keep the spotlight on New York’s path after Tuesday’s final. The Liberty, who beat the Las Vegas Aces in both the 2023 Cup title and Tuesday’s final, now host Minnesota at Barclays Center on Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET on ION. New York lost to the Minnesota Lynx after celebrating the Cup win, while the Aces look to match their 2022 Cup outcome, when they defeated the Chicago Sky. On Friday at 10 p.m. ET on ION, Las Vegas plays Chicago again after beating the Sky earlier in Chicago. Minnesota’s Napheesa Collier has returned to team activities but will not play, while Olivia Miles and Natasha Howard provide a consistent offensive core. The piece also highlights Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu’s 26-point, five-for-13 performance from three in Tuesday’s final and New York’s top-five offensive and defensive ratings.
