He immediately jumped, grabbing his leg around his knee. Cunningham, with a towel on his head, was helped by coaches to the locker room.
The fever confirmed that it was a right knee injury for Cunningham, who was discarded by the rest of the game, according to the Indy star. However, the seriousness of the injury has not yet been revealed.
Fans of fever can be fearing the worst for Cunningham, which had a lot of pain.

It seems that Indiana cannot get away from the injury error lately, since the superstar guard Caitlin Clark remains with a groin ailment.
The fever also announced on August 8 that Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald, both guards for Indiana, have been discarded during the rest of the 2025 season. Colson broke the left LCA, while McDonald has a broken bone on the right foot.
Cunningham left the game without scoring a point for fever, losing the three attempts at the field goal. She had a rebound and a rotation.
