Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham isn’t moving around too much following her season-ending surgery, so she’s had to get creative.
Sophie tore her right MCL during a win against the Connecticut Sun on August 17 and is out for the remainder of her first term with Indiana.
The injury occurred in the second quarter of the game, when Sun guard Bria Hartley fell into her while driving to the basket. Sophie immediately held her knee after falling near the sideline and screamed in pain.
Medical staff helped her get to the locker room.
The Fever announced that she was ruled out for the rest of the season, though she is expected to recover fully.
Sophie Cunningham Is Working Smarter Now
The 28-year-old recently took to Instagram to post a video of herself using her left leg to grab a tray of Chips Ahoy! from her coffee table. “Work smarter, not harder,” she wrote in the caption.
The video has also surfaced on Twitter/X, and can be seen below:
Sophie’s injury is a significant setback for the Fever, who have been without Caitlin Clark for most of the season and have lost multiple guards to injury.
Cunningham had been key in Clark’s absence, averaging 8.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game.
The Fever signed veteran guard Shey Peddy to a hardship contract after the injury development.
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.”

WNBA Chooses Not To Investigate Brittney Griner

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.
