Summary
12 points on 4-of-5 shooting — including three 3-pointers — helped Sophie Cunningham deliver one of her best games in Indiana’s latest win a day after Ryan Clark criticized her.
Clark had mocked the attention on a player who "doesn't even average 10 points a game" after Cunningham said little girls in locker rooms deserve protection, tying the dispute to the wider debate over transgender athletes in women’s sports.
22 minutes from the bench were enough for Cunningham to post a game-best +17, topping all players on the floor, while Caitlin Clark scored 22 and Kelsey Mitchell led Indiana with 28.
45.5% from three this season has Cunningham ranked second in the WNBA, adding on-court weight to a player whose comments have drawn growing public support beyond basketball.
