Sophie Cunningham gained nearly a million followers on TikTok after a late-game melee Tuesday, which she said stemmed from "protecting my teammates."

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham said that Caitlin Clark hasn't received protection from WNBA referees throughout the start of her career.

Last Tuesday night's game between the Indiana Fever and Connecticut Sun became scrappy early on as Caitlin Clark went up against long-time rival Jacy Sheldon, who has been a rival of Clark's since their Big Ten days at Iowa and Ohio State.
