Sophie Cunningham suffered a scary right knee injury that forced her to exit the Indiana Fever’s game against the Connecticut Sun on Sunday.

Cunningham needed help leaving the court early in the second quarter after the Sun’s Bria Hartley tumbled into her while trying to make a pass.

Cunningham stepped up to provide extra defense in the paint, and as Hartley turned the ball over to Lexie Hull, she lost her footing and fell directly into the Fever star’s right leg.

She immediately hopped around, grasping at her leg around her knee. Cunningham, with a towel over her head, was helped by trainers to the locker room.

The Fever confirmed it was a right knee injury for Cunningham, who was ruled out for the remainder of the game, per the Indy Star.
