Sun Jun 22 20:00:00 UTC 2025: **Headline: Cunningham Doubles Down on Clark Support with ‘Tres Leches’ Tribute Amidst WNBA Controversy**

**Las Vegas, NV –** Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham continued to voice her support for teammate Caitlin Clark, this time with a sartorial statement. Arriving for the Fever’s Sunday game against the Las Vegas Aces, Cunningham sported a “Tres Leches” t-shirt, a nod to the nickname shared by her, Clark, and teammate Lexie Hull. The shirt, sold by Barstool Sports, highlighted the trio’s bond, which has resonated with fans since Cunningham joined the Fever during the offseason.

Cunningham’s fashion choice comes after a week of heightened tensions surrounding Clark’s treatment on the court. During Tuesday’s game against the Connecticut Sun, Cunningham was fined for tackling Jacy Sheldon in retaliation for Sheldon’s earlier foul on Clark. Following the game, Marina Mabrey received a Flagrant 2 foul as well.

Addressing the controversy on Saturday, Cunningham defended her actions, arguing that the WNBA referees have failed to adequately protect Clark, the league’s star player. “It was a buildup for a couple of years now of them just not protecting the star player of the WNBA,” Cunningham said, adding, “I’m going to protect my teammates.” Coach Stephanie White echoed Cunningham’s sentiment, citing a lack of referee control.

The game between the Fever and the Sun was marked by multiple incidents involving Clark, including a prod to the eye from Sheldon and a hard shove by Mabrey. Clark herself was seen exchanging heated words with Sheldon during the game.
