Indiana Fever Suffer Unfortunate Sophie Cunningham Development on Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Fever are playing the Connecticut Sun, looking to break a two-game losing streak while they compete without Caitlin Clark.

In the second quarter, Sophie Cunningham was forced to exit the game when Sun player Bria Hartley fell awkwardly into her. Cunningham was standing under the basket playing defense while driving, Sun guard Bria Hartley fell into her lower left leg after making a pass.

Sophie Cunningham said she’s “really in good spirits” after confirming she suffered an MCL tear in her right knee in Sunday’s overtime win over the Sun.

The Indiana Fever have dealt with injury concerns throughout the season, and they were dealt another blow Tuesday.

Team officials did not provide details about the injury, the third season-ending one Indiana has experienced in August.

The Connecticut Sun have a pattern of fourth-quarter meltdowns in winnable games, raising questions about coach Rachid Meziane’s efficacy.

Rachid Meziane, in his first season as head coach of the Connecticut Sun, saw his team’s playoff chances end Sunday with a 99-93 overtime loss to Kelsey Mitchell and the Indiana Fever.
