Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham will undergo an MRI on Monday after suffering a knee injury during the team’s 99-93 win over the Connecticut Sun, according to ESPN’s Alexa Philippou<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the second quarter of Sunday’s game, Sun guard Bria Hartley collided with Cunningham under the basket after making a pass along the baseline. <\/p>\n

Cunningham stayed down on the floor before she was eventually helped into Indiana’s locker room with the assistance of the team’s medical staff. <\/p>\n

She was later ruled out with a right knee injury<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cunningham previously missed five games earlier in the season due to an\u00a0ankle sprain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old is in the midst of her first year on the Fever after she was acquired in an offseason\u00a0trade<\/a>\u00a0with the Phoenix Mercury.<\/p>\n

Cunningham’s inaugural season with Indiana has been impressive, averaging 8.9 points and 3.6 rebounds to go along with 1.2 assists in 25.7 minutes per game. Her 47.7 field-goal percentage and 44.3 three-point percentage are both career-high marks.<\/p>\n

She’s also stepped up recently, moving to the starting lineup on July 16. In 12 games as a starter heading into Sunday’s action, she averaged 12.2 points per game on 53.3\/49.2\/90.9 shooting splits.<\/p>\n

Cunningham is the latest Fever player to go down this season. Star point guard Caitlin Clark hasn’t played since July 15 due to a\u00a0groin injury<\/a>, while fellow point guards Aari McDonald and Sydney Colson\u00a0suffered\u00a0season-ending injuries<\/a>\u00a0during a 107-101 win over Phoenix on July 30.<\/p>\n

Indiana will be hoping that Cunningham’s injury isn’t too serious, especially with the team currently battling for playoff positioning.<\/p>\n

The Fever sit at No. 7 in the WNBA standings with a record of 19-16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham will undergo an MRI on Monday after suffering a knee injury during the…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":154467,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[62,67,132,68,232],"class_list":{"0":"post-154466","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-united-states","10":"tag-unitedstates","11":"tag-us","12":"tag-wnba"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115047098323857998","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154466","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=154466"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154466\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/154467"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=154466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=154466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=154466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
