Fever star Sophie Cunningham is out for the season after a collision with Connecticut Sun player Bria Hartley. She doesn't believe Hartley was smiling afterward, despite what some fans think.

Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham has no ill feelings toward Bria Hartley after the two were tangled during Sunday's game, resulting in Cunningham's season-ending knee injury. Cunningham acknowledged Tuesday night she tore her MCL after colliding with Hartley under the basket and had to be helped off the floor by team staff.

The team said they signed guard Shey Peddy to a seven-day hardship contract "in a corresponding move" to deal with Cunningham's injury. Star Fever player Caitlin Clark is also still dealing with a groin injury and has missed 22 games this season.
