Cunningham gained national attention earlier this season when she came to Caitlin Clark's defense during an in-game altercation.

The Indiana Fever's injury-plagued season continued Sunday when guard Sophie Cunningham had to be helped off the floor with a right knee injury early in the team's historic comeback win over the Connecticut Sun. Fever coach Stephanie White did not have an immediate update on Cunningham, who will undergo an MRI on Monday.

The Fever announced that an MRI revealed a right MCL tear for Cunningham.
