Sophie Cunningham has become an overnight sensation for defending her teammate Caitlin Clark. Earlier this week, Clark found herself getting several heated altercations with Connecticut Sun player Jacy Sheldon.
During the game, Clark got poked in the eye by Sheldron before getting shoved to the ground by another Sun player.
