SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM'S family have been left fuming after she picked up an injury against the Connecticut Sun.

The guard was forced off with a nasty knee injury after a collision with Bria Hartley.

Cunningham was defending under the basket at the time of the incident and was left wincing it pain.

She was taken to the locker room with a leg problem and she is due to undergo a scan to determine the extent of the injury.

Cunningham has remained upbeat since the incident - but her family have reacted angrily and accused the WNBA of not protecting its players.

Her sister Lindsey posted on X: "@WNBA maybe you should focus less on fining players for commenting on your poor officiating & more about hiring officials that are able to call a consistent game and protect your athletes. Pathetic."
