Cunningham was injured in the second quarter when Sun guard Bria Hartley fell and made contact with her leg as she fell to the court after firing off a pass in the paint. Cunningham immediately grabbed her leg and fell to the court while screaming in pain before having to be helped to the back by the trainers.

Those fears were confirmed on Tuesday with the team announcing guard Sophie Cunningham is out for the season with a right knee injury suffered in the second quarter of the Fever's stirring 99-93 overtime win against the Connecticut Sun.

Fever guard Sophie Cunningham will miss the remainder of the 2025 season after suffering a right knee injury in Sunday’s overtime win over the Sun, the team announced Wednesday.
