Indiana Fever star guard Sophie Cunningham was forced to exit a recent game early after suffering a brutal knee injury that left her in excruciating pain. The incident occurred during a game against the New York Liberty, when Cunningham had to be helped off the court by medical staff.

Cunningham's sister took to social media to express her frustration with the WNBA referees for not providing enough protection for Cunningham and other players who are at risk of serious injuries during games.

Unfortunately, the injury turned out to be more serious than initially thought, leading Cunningham to miss the remainder of the WNBA season. The guard underwent extensive medical evaluation, which determined that she would require surgery and a lengthy rehabilitation process to recover.

This devastating blow to Cunningham and the Indiana Fever comes at a critical point in the season, as the team was hoping to make a push towards the playoffs. Cunningham's absence will undoubtedly be felt on the court, as she has been a key player for the Fever this season. We wish her a speedy recovery and hope to see her back in action soon.
