Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham suffered a horrifying injury that left her screaming in pain during Sunday’s game against the Connecticut Sun, and her sister has called out the WNBA over it.

The Fever have been ravaged by injury all season, with Caitlin Clark missing most of their games and still at least a week away from returning. It appears they’ve taken another big hit, given Sunday’s development.

Cunningham was attempting to stop a drive in the paint from Connecticut’s Bria Hartley in the second quarter, but ended up having the attacking player land on her right leg after the contact pushed her to the ground.

She exited the game with a right knee injury and was later ruled out.

Incriminating New Photo Proves That Sophie Cunningham Was Intentionally Targeted By Connecticut Sun Player Who Brutally Injured Her Leg

Sophie’s sister, Lindsey Cunningham, has taken to X to criticize the refs, as there are claims that the contact looked deliberate.

“@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 Sophie,” she wrote.

Sophie’s mom, Paula Cunningham, also took a shot at Hartley in a tweet that appears to have been deleted, in which she claims that Hartley is a troublemaker who is out of control.

The Fever will provide updates on Cunningham’s injury soon enough. But, for now, it does not look good.
