Cunningham said she thought the foul in the 90-86 Indiana win was “absolutely” intentional. “Clearly I think it was unnecessary,” Cunningham said. “I’ve never really spoken to her and I have no beef with her, but I guess she has some pent up stuff.” Fever coach Stephanie White had a different view of the play. “It was a hard foul,” White said. “I don’t think that DiJonai intentionally came out to get her across the neck like she did, but it did happen, and I thought it was the right call.” Sophie Cunningham (right) is fouled by DiJonai Carrington (Getty) Cunningham got up immediately, charged toward Carrington and pushed her as she was held back by a teammate. “I popped up,” Cunningham said. “I’m not going to let anyone just do that to me. I think everyone knows that. In early 2025, Cunningham was transferred to Indiana Fever, a team where he took on a mainly offensive role from the bank and also highlighted for its defensive intensity.
Furthermore, The current season has an average of 9.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, with 45.2% effectiveness in triples.

Cunningham, who is white, was shooting a fast-break layup in the first quarter when Carrington, who is Black, came from behind and hit her in the head and neck, knocking her to the court as the shot went in.
