Sophie Cunningham FIRES BACK at Brittney Griner: “Maybe focus on your own game before coming for mine”

The drama in the WNBA just escalated—Sophie Cunningham has officially responded to Brittney Griner’s brutal criticism, and she’s not holding back.

In a fiery statement posted to her X (formerly Twitter) account, Cunningham clapped back at Griner’s accusation that she’s “just kissing up to Caitlin Clark to stay on the Indiana Fever”:

“You don’t know me, Brittney. I’m not here to play politics, I’m here to play basketball. Maybe focus on your own game before coming for mine.”

But she didn’t stop there.

“If supporting my teammates and giving everything I have every night is a problem for you, that’s on you. Don’t confuse chemistry with ‘kissing up.’ And don’t drag other women down just because you’re uncomfortable with someone else’s success.”

Fans and analysts alike are now dissecting every word of this brewing feud between two of the WNBA’s most outspoken personalities.

Some see Cunningham’s words as a powerful defense of team unity and professionalism. Others think this could signal deeper fractures behind the scenes—not just within the Indiana Fever, but across the league.

Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark has remained silent amid the tension, though her name continues to be at the center of every controversy, whether she chooses it or not.

If one thing’s clear, it’s this: the WNBA has never been more intense—on or off the court.
