Those fears were confirmed on Tuesday with the team announcing guard Sophie Cunningham is out for the season with a right knee injury suffered in the second quarter of the Fever's stirring 99-93 overtime win against the Connecticut Sun.

Early in the second quarter, Cunningham slid over on the baseline to provide help against Sun guard Bria Hartley, who threw a pass to the corner that was picked off by Lexie Hull. After getting rid of the ball, Hartley fell down and crashed into Cunningham's right leg.

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham will miss the rest of the regular season with a right-knee injury, the team announced on Aug. 19.
