Sophie Cunningham Draws Attention On and Off the Court After Ejection Following Heated WNBA Clash
- Sophie Cunningham involved in WNBA incident, causing multiple ejections
- Cunningham's aggressive style and loyalty to Caitlin Clark highlighted
- Off-court, she captures attention with bold fashion and addresses personal rumors
Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham is back in the spotlight after a dramatic on-court incident in WNBA.
The incident happened during the Fever’s 88-71 WNBA win over the Connecticut Sun, which saw three players ejected in the closing minute of the game.
Cunningham was issued a flagrant-2 foul following a hard hit on Sun rookie Jacy Sheldon that ignited a multi-player confrontation.
Tensions had built throughout the matchup before boiling over with under a minute to play. Cunningham's aggressive play sent Sheldon to the floor and prompted immediate responses from both benches.
Sheldon and Lindsay Allen were also ejected as officials struggled to regain control.
Post-game, Sun coach Rachid Meziane called the play “completely stupid,” while Fever coach Stephanie White suggested better officiating could have diffused tensions earlier.
Sophie Cunningham & Caitlan Clark Protection
From physical clashes to fierce loyalty and high-profile style, Cunningham is one of the most talked-about figures in the WNBA - both for her presence on the hardwood and beyond.
Cunningham, known for her physical style, has leaned into an enforcer role, often stepping up to protect rookie phenom Caitlin Clark.
That loyalty was evident again as Clark returned from injury to score a dominant 32 points.
Cunningham later shared a photo of herself shrugging in response to the incident, a move widely interpreted as defiant support for her teammate.
Off the court, Cunningham has captured media attention for her fashion-forward pregame outfits.
In recent appearances, she’s arrived wearing everything from a sheer lace bodysuit to a tailored white waistcoat ensemble - drawing mixed reactions but undeniable notice.
Who is Sophie Cunningham Dating?
Off-court rumors have trailed Cunningham.
She recently addressed speculation about a relationship with Phoenix Suns and Mercury executive Josh Bartelstein.
Cunningham called the claims “untrue and extremely hurtful,” and criticized the media for a lack of responsible reporting.
