It’s been a busy week for Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham.
It has only gotten better.
On Tuesday, Cunningham found herself at the center of a fight that broke out between the Fever and the Connecticut Sun. What started out as a bit of trash talk and shoving between Caitlin Clark and Jacy Sheldon quickly devolved into a bit of chaos near the end of the game.
In the final minute of the game, Cunningham decided to get some payback when she committed a hard foul against Sheldon. Both Cunningham and Sheldon were ejected. In addition, Cunningham received a $400 fine for the Flagrant 2 she was assessed and a second fine of an undisclosed amount for her role in the brawl that followed.
Since Cunningham’s move in defense of her teammate, she’s seen her TikTok follower count rise rapidly and steadily from roughly 302,000 to more than 1.2 million.
To celebrate, Sophie Cunningham took to her account and posted herself dancing to a song while rocking some short-shorts.

Sophie Cunningham And The Fever Are On a Losing Streak After Fight
Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham will always stick up for her teammates.
Cunningham was ejected from the Fever’s game Tuesday after committing a flagrant 2 foul on Sun guard Jacy Sheldon. The team won that game easily.
Another win has been hard to come by since then.
Since Clark’s 20-point game in the win over Connecticut, the Fever haven’t been able to come away with a win on this West Coast trip.
The team has lost two straight games.
The West Coast schedule continues with a final game against the Seattle Storm, winners of back-to-back games entering Sunday, on Tuesday before the Fever head back home.
