The Indiana Fever vs. Dallas Wings game is off to a rip-roaring start and among those at the center of the action: Caitlin Clark.
Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham has raised concerns about the WNBA's choice of markets for its three latest expansion teams.
Following news of the league's expansion plans, Cunningham threw shade at Cleveland and Detroit in particular, calling them cities that fans may not be that excited about when it comes to growing women's basketball. Cunningham instead named Miami, Nashville and Kansas City as her preferred pick of cities with "amazing opportunity."

“Nashville is an amazing city. Kansas City, amazing opportunity. There’s a huge arena downtown that no one’s using,” Cunningham continued, adding that the NWSL’s Current — co-owned by Chiefs quarterback and Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany — draws fans to Kansas City.
Sophie Cunningham defends "blue-collar working people" while explaining her WNBA expansion comments, noting her preference for cities like Miami.
The Indiana Fever guard said she wished the WNBA "listened to players" on where the league should expand to, and offered her own suggestions.
This is in reference to Cunningham, a guard for the Fever, who sparked controversy this week when she questioned the excitement around the WNBA’s planned expansion into Detroit and Cleveland, suggesting alternatives like Miami or Nashville might be more appealing.
Sophie Cunningham claimed she wasn't trying to bad-mouth Detroit and Cleveland when discussing the WNBA's planned expansion.
This sequence, which was arguably the coolest one of her second WNBA season, started with Clark blocking JJ Quinerly's shot in the paint. Clark then quickly took a pass from Aliyah Boston and fired an absolute dime to Sophie Cunningham who was able to make an easy layup on the other end of the floor.
