Sophie Cunningham sends blunt message to booing, trans flag-waving WNBA crowd after drilling shot
Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White addresses questions about trans athletes in women’s sports. Later, Aliyah Boston and Makayla Timpson are asked about Sophie Cunningham’s stance before the session is cut off as the players leave.

"Sophie Cunningham knocks down the three and then lets the crowd hear about it!"
