Sophie Cunningham and the Indiana Fever are not having the type of 2025 season they had hoped for.
A brutal fourth quarter led to a tough loss for the Indiana Fever against the LA Sparks on Thursday night.
Caitlin Clark missed her sixth game of the season, this time with a groin strain, and the Indiana Fever could have used her against a team that was on a losing streak.
The Fever led for most of the game but went cold in the fourth quarter. The Sparks grabbed control and pulled away for an 85-75 win. The Sparks outscored the Fever 35-17 in the fourth quarter.
Sophie Cunningham scored 10 points for the Indiana Fever in a 75-85 loss. The game, which saw the Fever lose despite leading in the fourth quarter, highlighted some recurring issues for the team, including their struggles to close out games.
Cunningham also had two rebounds and four steals.
With the loss, the team has dropped below .500 yet again, with a 7-8 record. That’s not what fans expected to see from Indiana in Year 2 of the Caitlin Clark era.
“The good news is we’re not gonna peak too early, so I mean, that’s a positive,” Cunningham told reporters.
“It’s not an excuse. Everyone’s playing a back-to-back, everyone has this kind of rough schedule. For us, it’s another opportunity tomorrow, and we’ve got to capitalize on it.”
Sophie Cunningham also made quite the eyebrow-raising remark about the Fever’s dynamic behind the scenes.
Cunningham admitted players have their “own islands” within the locker room.
“We are circled on everybody’s schedule. No one likes us, right? So everyone in our locker room, that’s the only type of people that we have that we can lean on. We have got to stay disciplined, we have to stay focused, we need to get consistent, and we got to lean on each other. And I think we’ve kind of wavered on that. We have our own islands. As one of the leaders of the team, I got to do a better job of grouping people.”

Cunningham is correct. The Indiana Fever are not the defending champs, but they are the most talked about team due to having Caitlin Clark.
That is more than enough for every team to want to play their best game against them and take them down.
What’s Next For Sophie Cunningham And The Indiana Fever?

A fourth-quarter fallout has become a recent and unfortunate trend for the Indiana Fever.
The Fever held double-digit second-half leads in three of their past four games. Yet, they still possess a record that is under .500.
Missing Clark, specifically, changes the game exponentially. Players like Sophie Cunningham can only do much when you are missing firepower like that.
It’s a completely different game when Clark is out. But it’s something the Fever will need to learn to work around.
Next up for the Fever is a Friday matchup with Paige Bueckers and the Wings.

LSU Tigers star Angel Resse has been making a lot of headlines after her match against the Iowa Hawkeyes. Reese has a unique fashion for her matches, she wears leggings on only one of her legs and she recently revealed the secret of doing so.
Reese lost her recent game against the Iowa Hawkeyes which left the fans wondering if she would continue with LSU or declare for the WNBA draft. Those questions have also been answered by Reese in her recent collaboration with Vogue.
Why does Angel Reese wear one legging attire?
Angel Reese wears only one legging as a part of her one-court attire and the fans have grown curious about it. Many people speculated that it was part of a superstition that Reese followed, however, that is not the case. The LSU star has herself revealed the reason for the unique dressing choice and it may surprise a lot of people.
“I had surgery two years back on my shin. I have a rod in my leg… I cover the scar on one, and then the two players that I admire, Te’a Cooper and A’ja Wilson, also wear it, too. So it is swag. But I have used it to cover my scar,” said Angel Reese. She revealed that she had surgery on her leg and had a scar on it. She wears the leggings to hide that scar and at the same time as a swag fashion accessory.
Angel Reese declares for WNBA draft with Vogue photoshoot
After the Tigers failed to stand up against Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes the fans were left wondering if the LSU star Angel Reese would declare for the upcoming NBA draft. Reese has answered those questions with a beautiful photoshoot in collaboration with Vogue. Reese did a photo shoot with the brand and announced that she would be declaring for the WNBA draft.
Reese expressed her thoughts about the decision on her official X (formerly Twitter) account. “Making my announcement with VOGUE was ICONIC. In the new world that I am stepping into, just believe in me, trust in me, and give me time to learn and grow!” said Reese in the post. She thanked her supporters for their support and love and also asked them to trust her in her new journey.
What do you think of Angel Reese’s secret about the one-legging attire? Which do you think will pick up Reese in the draft? We are eager to know your thoughts, so drop down in the comments and let us know.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield and his wife Emily have had to evacuate their home this week because of Hurricane Helene.
The hurricane hit northern Florida pretty hard, causing major flooding and power loss.
Mayfield, his wife Emily, their daughter, and their dog left their residence before the storm hit as a means of caution. Emily furnished her followers with an update on Friday.
“Baker, Koko, Fergus and I evacuated yesterday and are safe,” she said via Instagram. “Our sweet, sweet community got pummeled, but even that doesn’t compare to the people up North who took this storm head on. It’s unfathomable.”
Emily is grateful that Helene did not affect the Mayfield home but revealed she was “praying nonstop” for the people dealing with the impact while also offering tangible assistance.
“I am looking for ways to get out and tangibly help,” she added. “Please send me anything you find, and I will share the good ones.”
