New Sophie Cunningham rumor emerges after Fever incident

Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham remains part of headlines days after the incident she was involved in with DiJonai Carrington. Fans have expressed different takes about it. Some believe the Chicago Sky deserved the assessment of a Flagrant 2 foul. However, others said it should’ve been a common foul instead.

Cunningham has struggled in her team’s last three games. She has recorded just eight combined points along with five rebounds despite playing her usual minutes. The veteran guard started the season with the starting unit but the coaching staff moved her to the bench to provide a spark when the starters rest.

She delivered before her slump and averages 8.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game. Cunningham will remain a big part of the rotation for the remainder of the campaign, and Indiana will continue to rely on her experience and grit.

Sophie Cunningham reportedly seeking a deal outside of basketball

Cunningham is reportedly seeking a deal for a tell-all book about sports media and the WNBA. The rumors are circulating just weeks after her controversial comments about transgender athletes.

“Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham is shopping a book, publishing sources exclusively tell Page Six Hollywood,” Page Six’s Ian Mohr wrote. “The 6-foot-1 guard — who has 3.7 million followers on Instagram — could find herself at the center of a bidding war, we hear, with the timely tome.”

Cunningham and Indiana will begin a two-game homestand on Tuesday. They will clash with the New York Liberty at Gainbridge Fieldhouse before taking on the Dallas Wings three days later. The Fever won six of their last eight games and now sit at 20-12 and fourth in the standings.

The Liberty game gives the 29-year-old a chance to put her recent struggles in the rearview mirror. Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m.ET and ESPN will broadcast the matchup live.
