Fans are praying for Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham following Tuesday’s devastating news.
The Fever have confirmed that the 29-year-old will miss the remainder of the season after tearing her right MCL in Sunday’s win against the Connecticut Sun.
The injury occurred in the second quarter of the game, when Bria Hartley fell into her while driving to the basket. The Sun guard has faced accusations of wanting to hurt Cunningham on purpose, and there are now calls for her to be suspended.
The Fever star, who celebrated her birthday on the day before the injury, has taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to thank everyone who wished her a happy birthday and prayed for her.
“Thank you for the birthday wishes and the prayers💕,” she wrote after news of her injury dropped on Tuesday afternoon.
Fans took to the comments to offer support.
So sad to hear you’re out for the season, Sophie. 😢 Hope you have a speedy recovery🙏,” one wrote.
“get better soon Sophie! we’ll miss you ❤️,” said another.
“Hope to see you bright and early next season Soph! Best of luck on your recovery!” one user wrote.
“Come back stronger next year Sophie. FAFO season loading,” another comment read.
Sophie Cunningham’s Injury Adds To Indiana’s Growing Backcourt Woes

Sophie Cunningham’s injury comes as a massive blow to the Indiana Fever, who have been without Caitlin Clark for an extended period and have lost two of their guards to season-ending injuries in less than two weeks, as Aari McDonald and Sydney Colson are both sidelined.
It also comes at a crucial period, given the team’s playoff hopes as they sit in sixth place in the WNBA standings with less than a month left in the regular season.
They have responded to Cunningham’s injury by signing veteran guard Shey Peddy to a seven-day hardship contract.
Cunningham, who had a bold message for the team after limping to the locker room on Sunday, is expected to recover fully. Her presence in the locker room will be key for the postseason-hopeful Fever, but they will definitely miss her on the floor
