Fever's Sophie Cunningham speaks out after taking brutal hit vs. Sun

Sophie Cunningham wasn't thrilled.

On a defensive possession Tuesday night vs. the Connecticut Sun, Cunningham took a crushing screen that included an elbow to her head.

Connecticut thought the Indiana Fever forward embellished the contact.

Clearly, Cunningham did not.

She posted on X about it after the game:

they said I flopped. el oh el. https://t.co/EV3W5LKkRK

It wasn't a perfect night for the Fever. Caitlin Clark got hurt late in the game.

But Indiana did come away with the 85-77 win.

Cunningham scored 11 points with three rebounds and three steals off the bench. She shot 4-for-6 from the floor and made 2-for-3 from 3.

And at least she got up and was just fine after what definitely wasn't a flop.
