Sophie Cunningham and the Indiana Fever are off to a slow start
The Indiana Fever entered the 2026 season as one of the title favorites. They bolstered their roster in the offseason by adding veterans and rookie guard Raven Johnson. However, Cunningham and company suffered a 107-104 loss to the Dallas Wings on Saturday.
Indiana struggled on defense, and Dallas converted 59.1% of its shots. Cunningham recorded only three points, four rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes. Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark led the way but couldn’t stop Arike Ogunbowale, Odyssey Sims and Paige Bueckers.
Cunningham and the Fever will return to action on Wednesday. They will face the Los Angeles Sparks with their eyes set on winning their first game of the year. It will be nationally-televised starting at 10:30 p.m. ET from Crypto.com Arena.
