Sophie Cunningham discusses Fever's struggles after FIBA World Cup
Summary

Sophie Cunningham addressed the Indiana Fever's performance since the WNBA resumed following the FIBA World Cup. After the return of Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston, who won gold with Team USA, the Fever's form has been inconsistent. Cunningham noted that while the team had confidence following a win over Toronto, they performed poorly in their subsequent matchup against the Washington Mystics, which she described as one of their worst games. The Fever ended the regular season with a loss to the Minnesota Lynx, placing them sixth in the league and setting up a playoff matchup against the Las Vegas Aces.
