Cunningham<\/a> has been a key contributor for the Fever with the injured superstar Caitlin Clark<\/a> out.<\/p>\n

She finished with 16 points during Indiana’s August 9 win over the Chicago Sky and posted 18 against her former team, the Phoenix Mercury, two days earlier.<\/p>\n

However, Cunningham suffered an unfortunate non-basketball-related dilemma before Tuesday’s game against the Dallas Wings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The ESPNW TikTok account posted a clip<\/a> of Cunningham arriving before the contest.<\/p>\n

But Cunningham revealed that she had to walk to the game because her car stopped working.<\/p>\n

“I walked here today. My car broke down,” she told the camera person while making her entrance.<\/p>\n

After a person jokingly claimed that she was lying, Cunningham laughed and said, “I’m actually not lying at all.”<\/p>\n

She then made her way to where the Fever players pose with their pregame attire in the tunnel.<\/p>\n

“Just sweating a bit, but it’s fine,” Cunningham said.<\/p>\n

She finished with 14 points on 5-of-10 shooting, along with two rebounds, three assists in 35 minutes.<\/p>\n

However, the Fever lost 81-80 after nearly pulling off a 17-point comeback win against Paige Bueckers<\/a> and the Wings.<\/p>\n
