Sophie Cunningham certainly has a gripe with the refs.

The Indiana Fever guard caught an elbow to the head in their Tuesday contest against the Connecticut Sun. The Fever were playing defense, and Cunningham was following Leïla Lacan. Unfortunately for her, Olivia Nelson-Ododa swung her right arm, and her elbow hit Cunningham in the head, which caused her to fall to the ground momentarily.

One of the officials was standing right in front of the players involved. The referee saw what happened but did not bother to stop the play.

Despite the missed call, the Fever guard did not complain and continued with the game.

Fortunately for Cunningham and the Fever, they came out victorious from the contest. She scored 11 points off the bench on 4-of-6 shooting, helping Indiana to an 85-77 win.

Sophie Cunningham Reacts to Getting Elbowed

Cunningham sent a message to her fans after a physical play during Tuesday’s WNBA game.

Cunningham’s Indiana Fever took on the Connecticut Sun in a rematch of a fiery game earlier this year.

The 28-year-old would find herself on the ground this time around after apparently taking a shot to the head. The incident happened in the fourth quarter when Indiana led 66-65.

Cunningham tried to set a screen for teammate Aliyah Boston.

Sun player Olivia Nelson-Ododa saw it coming and tried to block Cunningham. She would use her elbow. There was no call. Sophie Cunningham got up to continue the play and made minimal fuss.

But she spoke about the incident on social media afterwards.

One fan posted on X, “Sophie Cunningham takes an elbow to the head. No call.”

“They said I flopped. El oh el,” Cunningham said in response.

 

Fearne Cotton has broken her silence on split from husband Jesse Wood in her first TV interview since the breakup.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’
