Sophie Cunningham’s season is over.

The 6-foot-1 guard suffered a season-ending injury to her right knee early in the Indiana’s Fever’s 99-93 win in overtime at Connecticut on Sunday.

The team announced the news Tuesday afternoon on what was a recovery day for the team. They took Monday off and have four days between games, next set to host the Minnesota Lynx on Friday.

Cunningham underwent an MRI on Monday, which confirmed an MCL tear, a league source told Fieldhouse Files. As I said in my postgame video report, it appeared to be an injury to her MCL, not her ACL.
