Fever star Sophie Cunningham is out for the season after a collision with Connecticut Sun player Bria Hartley. She doesn't believe Hartley was smiling afterward, despite what some fans think.

Cunningham said she’s in “good spirits” after suffering a season-ending knee injury and doesn't think Bria Hartley intended to hurt her.

Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham has no ill feelings toward Bria Hartley after the two were tangled during Sunday's game, resulting in Cunningham's season-ending knee injury. Cunningham acknowledged Tuesday night she tore her MCL after colliding with Hartley under the basket and had to be helped off the floor by team staff.

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham said she does not believe Bria Hartley intended to hurt during a basketball play where Cunningham suffered a season-ending knee-injury.

Cunningham was injured in the second quarter when Sun guard Bria Hartley fell and made contact with her leg as she fell to the court after firing off a pass in the paint. Cunningham immediately grabbed her leg and fell to the court while screaming in pain before having to be helped to the back by the trainers.
