Indiana Fever guard/forward Sophie Cunningham addressed the media after assumptions that recent controversies have taken their toll on the locker room. From the Caitlin Clark and Alyssa Thomas incident to Sophie Cunningham’s comments about excluding trans women from women’s sports. With DiJonai Carrington’s foul on Cunningham from the weekend, the latest major development for the franchise, Cunningham sent a message to the media after the Fever’s 106-92 win over the NY Liberty. That’s what it means to be an Indiana Fever, on the staff, as a player, that when you come in here, there’s gonna be things that distract you. That controversy and then the Carrington foul on Cunningham, which led to Carrington posting about white privilege after getting ejected, have made this situation worse.
