This is in reference to Cunningham, a guard for the Fever, who sparked controversy this week when she questioned the excitement around the WNBA’s planned expansion into Detroit and Cleveland, suggesting alternatives like Miami or Nashville might be more appealing.

Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham made news last week when she threw some shade at the cities of Cleveland and Detroit after the WNBA awarded them expansion franchises. While she later attempted to clarify her comments, it's clear that her words were felt throughout the league.

Earlier in the week, the Indiana Fever guard said she didn't know how excited players would be to play in two of the WNBA's three latest expansion cities.
