Riley Gaines recently issued his opinion on Indiana fever player Sophie Cunningham, calling the WNBA referees not to protect Caitlin Clark. Cunningham struck the association by saying that Clark has to defend as the WNBA did not.
The Indiana fever and the Connecticut Sun closed its horns on June 18, 2025, where the first won the victory with a marker of 88-71. During the game, Clark was transferred to the ground as he raised the ball in the offensive end of the court during the third quarter of the game. The star of Wnba was hit in the eyes by Jacy Sheldon and was finally pushed on the floor by Marina Mabrey.
This fierce competition led to the expulsion of Cunningham, Sheldon and Allen after several evaluations. After this incident, Sophie Cunningham struck the WNBA for not being able to protect Clark during the incident. A video of her stating that she will always protect her teammates uploaded to X, where she said:
“You know what, for this, was only part of the game. I think the Refs had a lot to do with this. It was an accumulation for a few years, just not protecting, you know, the star player of the WNBA. And so at the end of the day, I will protect my teammates. This is what I do and I am a team player,” said Cunningham.
