Breanna Stewart has already won one Commissioner's Cup championship. She hopes to get New York to this year's in-season tournament title game to have a chance at another one.
The Aces have already clinched a spot in the final which will be played in Las Vegas on Aug. 15. The Aces won the Cup last year and are looking to defend their title.
The Liberty need a victory over Indiana on Wednesday or a loss by Connecticut in Chicago to earn a trip to Las Vegas to play the Aces in the championship game. New York and Connecticut are tied with one game to play and hold the tiebreaker over the Sun.

"We have to go and take care of business," Stewart said after practice Monday. "Make sure we're locked in and put ourselves a step further towards the Commissioner's Cup."
The Commissioner's Cup started in 2021 with Seattle winning the inaugural cup. Stewart has seen attention increase on it in its few years of existence.
"It’s definitely starting to grow once you realize the incentive behind it and the bragging rights," she said.
Liberty teammate Courtney Vandersloot made the championship game last year with Chicago before losing to Las Vegas.
