Sophie Cunningham has defended Caitlin Clark on the basketball court, and now she’s defending her off the court.
After the Fever wrapped up practice on Saturday, Cunningham, who has already earned herself one ejection this year while defending Clark, blasted WNBA referees for not doing more to protect the league’s sole superstar.
“I’m not focused on the extracurricular activities,” Cunningham said, “and you know what? During that, it was just part of the game. I think the refs had a lot to do with that; it was a build-up of a couple of years now of them just not protecting the star player of the WNBA. At the end of the day. I’m gonna protect my teammates, that’s what I do.”
Those words are music
