The news Fever fans dreaded has finally arrived. The MRI results confirm that Sophie Cunningham is out for the season, marking the third key player lost to injury. What began as a season full of hope and high expectations has spiraled into pain and disappointment. With their enforcer sidelined, the Fever will have to push through–but Cunningham insists this outcome is actually the best-case scenario for her.
On the latest episode of her Show Me Something podcast, Cunningham opened up about the injury: “I did tear my MCL. And if you’re going to hurt your knee, that is like the best possible case. And so, you know, this year just as a whole, like I think the league as a whole, but really us, we’ve just gone through so much adversity. And then injury-wise, it’s just like you can’t make this up, to be honest.”
Cunningham also pointed out a bizarre trend happening with the team lately: “But you want to know what’s actually crazy though, is that Sydney—yeah, Sydney had her birthday. The next day we played, she completely tore her ACL and everything. It was my birthday. We played the next day, and then I hurt my knee. And we still have a couple more birthdays on our team, and everyone’s like, ‘Do they play or do they not play?’”
