Fever star Sophie Cunningham is out for the season after a collision with Connecticut Sun player Bria Hartley. She doesn't believe Hartley was smiling afterward, despite what some fans think.

Following season-ending injuries to guards Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald, Sophie Cunningham on Tuesday was ruled out for the remainder of the 2025 season with an MCL tear in her right knee. In addition, Caitlin Clark has missed more than a month with a right groin strain, and her status for the rest of the season remains in jeopardy.

Cunningham said she’s in “good spirits” after suffering a season-ending knee injury and doesn't think Bria Hartley intended to hurt her.
