Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham was issued a fine for calling out the WNBA referees in a viral TikTok video.
Top Plays of the Day, 7/22/25
Sophie Cunningham has emerged as a fan favorite in her first season with Indiana, thanks to her new role as Caitlin Clark’s enforcer. Cunningham left her mark in the June 17 game against the Connecticut Sun, where she went after Jacy Sheldon minutes after the latter poked Clark in the eye.
The scuffle led to ejections for Cunningham, Sheldon and Lindsay Allen, though none of the players were suspended. Cunningham was fined $400 for her actions.
Fast forward a month, and Sophie Cunningham has now been issued a second fine for calling out the officials in a TikTok video. Cunningham announced in an X/Twitter post that the said TikTok video led to a $500 fine from the league office.
Cunningham was lip-syncing a line from Sabrina Carpenter’s hit song, “Manchild.” Cunningham used the caption “@ some refs” with the lyric “Stupid Or is it slow? Maybe it’s useless?” playing:
After the incident with Sheldon and the Sun, Sophie Cunningham revealed that she landed an endorsement deal with Ring, a home security company. $900 in fines isn’t pocket change, but we’re sure Cunningham isn’t too worried about fines for sticking to her style of play as an outspoken enforcer.

The Fever are 12-12 through their first 24 games this season, holding down the seventh playoff spot. They’re half a game up on the eighth-seeded Washington Mystics, but only one up on the Golden State Valkyries, who are the top team outside the playoff picture.
Indiana will try to snap a two-game losing skid when they host the Las Vegas Aces on Thursday evening.
