The Fever have been dealing with some widespread injury issues lately, and that continued on Sunday against the Sun.

Guard Sophie Cunningham had to leave the game in Connecticut with a right knee injury after Bria Hartley fell into her knee on a drive. Cunningham needed assistance to get off the court as she was in visible pain.

Cunningham is the latest Fever player to deal with an injury, as Caitlin Clark has been out since the middle of July. Cunningham herself also missed some time earlier in the season with an ankle injury.

As WNBA referees have been scrutinized recently for their inconsistency, Cunningham has been one of the more vocal players. in the league. As a result, she was fined by the league earlier in the season for her criticism of the refs.

Hartley, meanwhile, is at the center of another controversial play. Earlier this season, Hartley pulled Angle Reese’s hair on a rebound attempt, leading to a small scuffle, and just this week she was ejected for her role in a scuffle between the Sun and Sky.

Here’s the latest on Cunningham’s status.
