Fever star Sophie Cunningham is out for the season after a collision with Connecticut Sun player Bria Hartley. She doesn't believe Hartley was smiling afterward, despite what some fans think.

Fever guard Sophie Cunningham officially tore her MCL after Sun guard Bria Hartley collided with her knee during Indiana's win on Sunday. Cunningham will have to undergo surgery and miss the remainder of the 2025 season.

Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham has no ill feelings toward Bria Hartley after the two were tangled during Sunday's game, resulting in Cunningham's season-ending knee injury. Cunningham acknowledged Tuesday night she tore her MCL after colliding with Hartley under the basket and had to be helped off the floor by team staff.
