Sophie Cunningham made sure to have the best game of her season against her old team.

Cunningham finished with a team-high 18 points against her former WNBA team and was one of just two Indiana players to put up double digits in the loss.

The Fever superstar was animated as ever during this contest, and for good reason. They traded her during the offseason.

Cunningham was traded from the Phoenix Mercury to the Indiana Fever as part of a three-team deal involving the Dallas Wings. In the trade, Satou Sabally went to Phoenix, and the Wings acquired NaLyssa Smith and the #8 pick in the 2025 WNBA draft from Indiana

In addition to getting Cunningham, the Fever also obtained the No. 19 pick in the draft.

When the Indiana Fever hosted the Phoenix Mercury on July 30, the home crowd at Gainbridge Fieldhouse gave former player DeWanna Bonner a savage reception.

 

On Thursday night, Sophie Cunningham was in an entirely different situation. The crowd at PHX Arena made their feelings about her abundantly clear. They loved her.


The supporters gave the 6-foot-1 guard a warm ovation as the team showed their tribute video for Sophie Cunningham.

She may love the fans, but she certainly has no love for her former head coach.

Despite being down a ton, Cunningham still wanted to have a great game.

At one point during the second half, she hit a three-pointer and got cheered on by the crowd.

While doing so, she backed up and began looking at Mercury head coach Nate Tibbetts, who was in his first year when he played under him in 2024.


Aside from the staredown, she made sure to clap in his face and his ear as she made her way back to the bench.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
