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.”
