Players will not only be competing for silverware, but a chance to pad out their pay packets.
There is a $500,000 prize pool with winning players set to take home $30,000 each.
Even losing players will cash in $10,000 as well as a further $5,000 worth of cryptocurrency from Coinbase.
An additional $5,000 is on offer to the MVP – a prize Clark will likely be targeting.
The WNBA star is already celebrating however after winning the chance to play for a trophy.
She said, "Obviously, we’re excited. That’s a big deal.
"Why wouldn't we celebrate that [accomplishment]? We're getting to play for a pool of money.
"That's pretty fun, and you're competing to win a trophy."
Clark had to earn her spot in the Commissioner’s Cup championship the hard way after a physical battle against the Connecticut Sun.
The 23-year-old was pushed to the ground by Marina Mabrey in the 88-71 win.

Clark was moving with the ball when she was caught in the eye by Jacy Sheldon.
Fever’s guard reacted angrily and lightly pushed into her rival.
Team-mates then rushed over as tempers began to flare.
Mabrey was one of those who stormed across and she brutally shoved Clark to the deck.
WNBA chiefs have since admitted the referee was wrong not to eject Mabrey over the incident.
ESPN claim that her technical has now been upgraded to a flagrant 2.
Mabrey will also be fined for her actions.
Later in the game, Fever's Sophie Cunningham received a flagrant 2 for her foul that caused a team melee.
