Sophie Cunningham's Behavior Before Fever-Dream Game Catches the WNBA's Attention
The Indiana Fever are in action on Tuesday as they look to make it three straight wins amid Caitlin Clark's injury absence. It's a road game for the 4-4 Fever with the Atlanta Dream hosting a shorthanded Indiana side at Gateway Center Arena.

The WNBA posted a video of the Fever's arrival at the venue, which was an opportunity for the players to show off their pregame outfits. Six-time All-Star DeWanna Bonner immediately stood out with her all-black ensemble that featured a halter-style top and wide-leg trousers.
Bonner was more than happy to strike a pose for the cameras, too. Coming next to her was Sophie Cunningham, whose fit didn't exactly match her teammate's powerful, fashion-forward look. The seventh-year guard went for a simpler, sportier vibe that featured an oversized long-sleeve sweatshirt, black leggings, a pair of white sneakers and a white baseball cap.

Cunningham was visibly shocked after seeing Bonner strut her stuff like she was on a fashion runway, and she admittedly did not know how she was going to follow up her teammate's pose.

Cunningham tried her best, and her hilarious behavior caught the attention of the WNBA.
"When the group chat didn't discuss a dress code. DeWanna Bonner pulled up looking runway ready, and Sophie Cunningham didn't know how to follow it up 🤣," the league wrote.

As the WNBA indicated in its post, Bonner and Cunningham clearly failed to coordinate their outfits. It looked like they were attending two entirely different events.
At the end of the day, though, both players headed into the arena with the same goal in mind, and that is to get the W. Cunningham, however, will need to support her team from the sidelines as she continues to nurse an ankle injury.

Cunningham, who joined the Fever as an offseason recruit, will miss her third straight game due to the ankle issue, but she could potentially return in Indiana's next contest, which is on Saturday against the defending champions, New York Liberty.

The Fever forced the Aces into something they hadn't done since 2015. How they made them 'look ugly'
The Fever have held their last two opponents, the Minnesota Lynx and Las Vegas Aces, under 60 points. Continuity has been a key to success for Indiana's defense coming together, and playing for a full 40 minutes. INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Fever were already well on their way to victory over the Las Vegas Aces when Sophie Cunningham intercepted a pass in the backcourt and laid it in to extend their lead to 20 late in the third quarter. It's what followed that gave the sequence added significance. None of the five players in navy exhaled. There was no celebration. By the time Vegas gathered the ball and looked to try the inbound again, Cunningham was back in her stance, applying backcourt pressure alongside Lexie Hull. And given how things had gone up until that point, that pass probably would've been picked off, too, if not for Vegas calling timeout. The Fever are buying into being relentless on defense, coach Stephanie White said following the 81-54 win. Her players are committing themselves to the "activity level" it takes and trusting they can go all out and know the players coming off the bench will maintain momentum. It's been a focus all season, White said. "But to finally start to see it come together is rewarding." The Fever are the first team to allow 60 points or fewer in back-to-back games this season. They held the Minnesota Lynx to a season-low 59 points in Tuesday's Commissioner's Cup championship game, then did the same against the Aces on Thursday. Taking it a step further, those 54 points were the fewest the Las Vegas Aces have scored since 2015, when they were the San Antonio Stars (their ledger that season included a couple sub-50 outings). Guard Kelsey Mitchell — who scored 25 points on 9-of-18 shooting and dished out six assists — spotlighted assistant coach Briann January. "She's been amazing and pivotal to our defensive success," Mitchell said, adding Karima Christmas-Kelly and Austin Kelly to her list of shoutouts, as well. "They know where we need to be and know the risks we can take as young basketball players," Mitchell continued. "Getting deflections, mucking it up and making it look ugly for the best of the best are some of the things you have to do. We know the Aces come with heavy hitters. You can't stop greatness, but you can limit where you can. That's what you guys just saw. Muck it up and make it look ugly." There was beauty in the ugliness Thursday, with the Fever's high-tempo defense causing chaos throughout. At no point did Vegas look even remotely comfortable. Reigning MVP A'ja Wilson accounted for 29 of Vegas' 54 points, doing her damage on 9-of-18 shooting and 11 for 13 at the line. Jackie Young was the only other player with multiple field goals for the Aces, who shot a woeful 26% (16 for 61) from the field and 3 for 16 from 3. They also committed 17 turnovers, resulting in 19 additional points for the Fever, who finished with a team defensive rating of 72 (that's good). "Being able to get stops and letting that spark our offense has been great, but that's something we've been working on all season," added forward Aliyah Boston, who logged 20 points, seven rebounds and two assists. "It's about making sure we stay consistent through all four quarters and put in 40 minutes." After holding Chicago under 60 points in the opener, the Fever allowed 80 or more points in four of their next five games, including a 91-90 loss to Atlanta and a 90-88 loss to New York. There were signs of progress in more recent games against Seattle and Dallas, and now they're beginning to put everything together, maintaining a high level of intensity that began at practice and has translated to games. "It's time and reps. It takes time. It's not something that's innate," White said of the defensive chemistry that's fueled Indiana's recent run. "It's just like any relationship. You build trust, believe in one another, continue to have each other's back and call up when your number is called. And our team has continued to stay together even when it hasn't been pretty and now they're starting to see the results of that." The Fever (9-8) host Los Angeles at 7 p.m. Saturday.

'Slap in the face': Indiana Fever veteran 'fighting for a fair share' in WNBA contract bargaining
INDIANAPOLIS — Count Sydney Colson among those who were dissatisfied with the WNBA's initial contract proposal to the players association. "Yeah, it's a slap in the face," the Indiana Fever guard told IndyStar ahead of Thursday's 81-54 win over Las Vegas. Front Office Sports reported Wednesday the league made its first offer last week as negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement continue. That proposal drew a sharply negative response from the players, who felt the initial response wasn't "entirely responsive" to their request, FOS reported. The WNBA players opted out of the current CBA in October 2024, meaning it will expire at season's end. That deal has been in place since 2020. "We've seen growth in our league," Colson said. "We're not asking for anything crazy, but it's only fair that players start to reap some of the financial rewards for bringing in better attendance in their home arenas, neutral sites, whatever it is. Players are helping to grow the game, grow our market. We should see some of that (financially)." Labor negotiations have been at the forefront of WNBA discourse the past couple weeks. Colson and Fever wing Sophie Cunningham both read a prepared statement on behalf of the WNBPA on June 22 in Las Vegas, calling this "a defining moment" in the WNBA. "As the league grows, it's time for a CBA that reflects our true value." "We are fighting for a fair share of the business that we've built, because it is a business," they continued. "We are not fighting for anything that's unreasonable. When it comes to salary and revenue share, we are fighting to share in the growth that we've created. Every other category across the business has grown. … The only thing that is still capped is our player salaries, which is insane. We deserve a fair share." Caitlin Clark made headlines Tuesday when she appeared on Colson's Instagram live from inside the Fever locker room and highlighted the discrepancy in payouts for winning the Commissioner's Cup and winning the WNBA championship. As the Commissioner's Cup champions, Indiana players are eligible to receive up to $30,000, while the runner-up Lynx can receive up to $10,000. Winning the WNBA championship carries a $20,825 payout, per the current CBA, while finishing runner-up pays $7,746. 'We get more for this than you do if you're a (WNBA) champion," Clark said. "It makes no sense. Someone tell (commissioner) Cathy (Engelbert) to help us out.' 'Someone tell Cathy to help us out': Caitlin Clark calls out commissioner for payout being more for in-season tournament than WNBA title Colson is not at the bargaining table for this round of negotiations, but said this is the first time she's "really making sure to be more vocal," participating in league-wide calls and encouraging players around the league to participate. "We have to show that we understand what's going on," said Colson, adding she wishes she'd been more involved and done more earlier in her career. "(The league) must think we don't understand business, or we don't understand the things that we're seeing across the league, or that we won't stick together and do something to show that we respect ourselves and believe that we're owed what we've worked for." Colson credited past players unions for making sure they made it easier for those who came after them, and believes that should be the current WNBPA's mission, as well. "It may not affect you, hopefully it does, but you definitely want it to affect the people coming after you," she said. Colson laments not being more involved with past labor negotiations and she encouraged younger players to make sure they're as involved as possible so they know what's going on with their money and careers. "A lot of players get to the point where you're grateful to have a job, honestly," Colson said. "You're glad to not have to go overseas constantly or to get a training camp roster spot and stick, so you're maybe not as focused on what you should be, like reading the CBA and making sure you totally understand everything that's in it." "That's some of my regrets from being younger and not as involved," she continued. "Now I'm gonna make sure that I'm just speaking up more."

Aliyah Boston Had Clear Thoughts on Newest Indiana Fever Teammate
Aliyah Boston Had Clear Thoughts on Newest Indiana Fever Teammate originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Even though Caitlin Clark continues to miss games due to injury, the Indiana Fever continue to find ways to win games without her. Advertisement On Thursday, they got their record over .500 with an 81-54 win over the Las Vegas Aces. They held the Aces to 26.2% shooting from the field while forcing 19 turnovers, and they got 20 points from Aliyah Boston and 25 points from Kelsey Mitchell. Aari McDonald, a guard Indiana recently signed to bolster its depth amidst the injury problems it has had, made a contribution as well. She chipped in eight points, seven rebounds and seven assists in 31 minutes, and Boston praised her afterward. 'We told her after the game, we said.. 'we're just thankful for you'. Her impact, you see it, even just looking at the plus minus, +26—i just think she's been the perfect missing piece for us.' Advertisement This was just McDonald's sixth appearance in a game since first coming to Indiana about a month ago. She was signed on June 2, released on June 13 and then brought back last week. Prior to Thursday, she had scored in double figures in four straight games, and she tallied six assists against just one turnover in a win versus the Dallas Wings last Friday. Indiana Fever guard Aari McDonald (2) takes the ball to the basket against the Washington Mystics at Gainbridge Smith/IndyStar / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images McDonald was the No. 3 pick in the 2021 WNBA Draft by the Atlanta Dream. She finished second in the Rookie of the Year voting that season, but she hasn't lived up to her potential after three stellar seasons at Arizona. While at Arizona, she averaged over 20 points a game in each of her three years there, and she was named the Pac-12 Player of the Year in 2021, as well as the winner of the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year award in 2020 and 2021.
