Fever star Sophie Cunningham hit with third WNBA fine after Paige Bueckers comment on her podcast
The WNBA fined Sophie Cunningham again after the Indiana Fever star criticized referees on her podcast for giving Dallas Wings' Paige Bueckers too many whistles.
Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham left Sunday’s win over the Connecticut Sun early in the second quarter after suffering an apparent knee injury, never to return. After going through an MRI, the Fever announced on Tuesday that the former Phoenix Mercury guard has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.
Sophie Cunningham’s Sister Sends Stern Message to WNBA After Fever Star’s Injury originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Fever took on the Connecticut Sun on Sunday, hoping to rebound after back-to-back losses to the Dallas Wings and Washington Mystics.
Caitlin Clark has not played for the Indiana Fever since suffering a groin injury on July 15, but that's apparently not the only injury she's dealing with. During a workout in Phoenix on August 7, Clark tweaked her ankle, according to Scott Agness of the Fieldhouse Files, adding to her injury-riddled sophomore season.
Sophie Cunningham, Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald are out for the season, while Caitlin Clark has missed 13 straight games with a groin injury.
In the second quarter, Sophie Cunningham was forced to exit the game when Sun player Bria Hartley fell awkwardly into her. Cunningham was standing under the basket playing defense while driving, Sun guard Bria Hartley fell into her lower left leg after making a pass.
After the latest move with Cunningham being ruled out, Indiana released Kyra Lambert. They also wound up signing Shey Peddy. Lambert spoke about the Fever’s decision after being released by the WNBA team.
