Sophie Cunningham Says WNBA Players Are Targeting Caitlin Clark

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham has reignited the debate over Caitlin Clark's treatment in the WNBA, alleging that the league's biggest star is being singled out by opponents. Her comments came in the wake of a controversial incident during Indiana's game against the Phoenix Mercury that left fans and analysts questioning officiating standards.

The moment occurred in the second quarter when Clark drove to the basket and an opposing player made contact that sparked widespread criticism. Cunningham argued that Clark faces a level of physical play that other players in the league do not consistently encounter.
