Sophie Cunningham Exits Fever Game With Scary Looking Injury

The Indiana Fever's injury woes worsened Sunday afternoon when guard Sophie Cunningham went down on the court in a lot of pain after a Sun player fell onto her.

Early in the second quarter, Cunningham collected a defensive rebound and passed the ball to Lexie Hull, but while Cunningham's back was turned the Sun's Bria Hartley lost her footing and tumbled into Cunningham from behind.

Cunningham immediately grabbed her right knee and went down in pain. Cameras caught her devastated reaction before her Fever teammates and coaches surrounded her on the court.

Here's the play where she got injured:

Cunningham was then helped by trainers to the locker room with a towel over her head.

The Fever confirmed it’s a right knee injury for Cunningham and she has been ruled out for the remainder of the game, per the Indy Star’s Brian Haenchen.

Hopefully, the injury isn't as bad as it looked and she's able to recover soon.
