Fever star Sophie Cunningham hit with third WNBA fine after Paige Bueckers comment on her podcast

Illinois state Sen. Andrew Chesney (R) joins 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss why Gov. JB Pritzker's policies are to blame after the deadly collision and what laws need to change. 

It’s "third time’s the charm" for Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham, as she revealed the WNBA fined her again for criticizing officiating on her podcast. 

Cunningham, who was ruled out for the remainder of the 2025 WNBA season after tearing her MCL in Sunday’s game against the Connecticut Sun, told her "Show Me Something" co-host, reality star and Complex journalist West Wilson, that she got fined for comments regarding Dallas Wings star guard Paige Bueckers. 

"I love Paige to death, don’t get me wrong," Cunningham said in her podcast episode from Aug. 13. "I think she’s a hell of a player and would love to play with her one day, but those refs were giving her every frickin’ whistle last night. Like you literally couldn’t touch her. That’s just so annoying to me."

The WNBA fined Cunningham an undisclosed amount. 

"I’m officially 3-for-3 on being fined by the WNBA," Cunningham said in the most recent podcast episode. 

"For this? For the pod?" Wilson questioned.

"They didn’t like my comment on Paige Bueckers…I didn’t even say anything bad," Cunningham responded. 

Cunningham was first hit with a fine worth $500 from the league for posting a TikTok where she captioned it "some officials"
