In a jaw-dropping post-game comment that’s already lighting up social media, WNBA star Brittney Griner didn’t hold back when asked about Sophie Cunningham’s recent performance and rumored alliance with Caitlin Clark.
“She looks like someone just kissing up to Caitlin Clark to stay on the Indiana Fever,” Griner scoffed, visibly irritated. “And honestly, I don’t see the point—she can’t even play properly.”
The statement stunned reporters in the room, many of whom weren’t expecting Griner to take such a personal jab. But it didn’t end there.
“It’s not about talent anymore,” she continued. “It’s about staying relevant. And some players are willing to do whatever it takes—even if it means sucking up to the media darling just to keep a contract.”
Fans are split. Some accuse Griner of bitterness and jealousy, while others applaud her honesty for saying what “everyone else is thinking but too afraid to say.”
Cunningham has yet to respond publicly, but insiders say the locker room tension within the Fever has “never been higher,” especially with whispers that certain players feel overshadowed by Clark’s star power and media attention.
As the WNBA season continues to heat up, one thing is clear: the drama off the court might just be more intense than anything happening on it.
