Sophie Cunningham does not play about her family.
Last week, Sophie’s sister, Lindsey Cunningham, ripped the WNBA after watching her sister’s knee injury that knocked her out of the team’s dramatic win over the Connecticut Sun.
Cunningham got entangled with Sun forward Bria Hartley in the second quarter. Hartley was driving and made a pass to the far corner. As Cunningham tried to help out on defense, Hartley fell forward into the Fever guard’s lower body.
It was immediate pain for Sophie Cunningham, who grabbed her leg. The 29-year-old, who recently celebrated a birthday, clutched her right knee as she fell to the court in visible pain.
More evidence has since suggested that Hartley was purposely targeting Cunningham.
Lindsey Cunningham called out the WNBA, alleging officials have inadequately protected players.
“@WNBA maybe you should focus less on fining players for commenting on your poor officiating & more about hiring officials that are able to call a consistent game and protect your athletes. Pathetic. Praying for you, @sophaller,” Lindsey Cunningham wrote on X.
Lindsey’s criticism seemingly didn’t sit well with everyone.
One user re-shared Lindsey’s tweet and fired back by posting footage of Sophie Cunningham committing a flagrant foul while calling her a derogatory name.
“Protect athletes,” shut up, bit–,” the user stated.
Sophie Cunningham Defends Her Sister

Sohpie was not going to let a disrespectful fan get away with dissing her sister.
Cunningham responded, tweeting the following: “… some of us were raised by the words of “don’t bite off more than you can chew” and some of us didn’t. “fafo” 😘.
It’s not surprising to see Cunningham clap back like that, considering she has been extremely blunt over similar scenarios all season.
She has also been fined multiple times for criticizing WNBA officials.
In the second quarter of the Indiana Fever’s 99-93 win over the Connecticut Sun on Sunday, Sophie Cunningham left the game after suffering a knee injury. It was reported that she would undergo an MRI on Monday.
Monday came and went with no updates. If her MRI did not go well, Cunningham could be joining Clark on the sideline for the foreseeable future.
Cunningham’s step up in production has been particularly important while Fever star Caitlin Clark has been sidelined.
Losing her for a significant amount of time would be detrimental.
