Fever star Sophie Cunningham to miss remainder of 2025 WNBA season with right knee injury

Caitlin Clark was fouled hard during the Indiana Fever’s 88-71 victory over the Connecticut Sun. Colin Cowherd says this is great for the WNBA and Caitlin Clark’s career and he discusses how she’s impacted the league.

Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham will miss the remainder of the 2025 WNBA season after suffering a right knee injury Sunday against the Connecticut Sun. 

Cunningham needed to be helped off the court in the second quarter after the Sun’s Bria Hartley tumbled into her right leg. Cunningham immediately clutched her knee while she remained on the hardwood. After being assessed by trainers, she was helped off into the locker room. 

The Fever announced Tuesday that Cunningham is expected to make a full recovery, though they didn’t specify the exact nature of the injury.

Cunningham was injured while stepping up to provide extra defense in the paint. As Hartley turned the ball over to Lexie Hull, she lost her footing and fell directly into Cunningham’s right leg. 

In a corresponding move, the Fever signed guard Shey Peddy to a seven-day hardship contract and released guard Kyra Lambert.

Cunningham’s sister, Lindsey, called out the WNBA, alleging that officials have not adequately 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.
