The Indiana fever guard, Sophie Cunningham, began last Wednesday with just over 300,000 Tiktok followers who left a silenced game against the Connecticut sun, which saw her be expelled when she distributed some remuneration before the timbre sounded.
At the time he fought with the Sun Guard Jacy Sheldon, who had pushed Caitlin Clark in the eye at the beginning of the game, became an instant sensation. Cunningham had gone viral before for his outfit options while he was with Phoenix Mercury. However, even she can admit that she never saw her popularity to shoot as she did in the last six days.

It was fined for his actions after the foul on Sheldon and for expulsion, but remained firm in his defense of Clark.
“During that, it was only part of the game. I think the referees had a lot to do with that.

That’s what I do.”
Before Sunday’s match against Las Vegas, Cunningham showed his link with Clark and his teammate Lexie Hull. He wore a shirt that said: “Three milks.”
