Sophie Cunningham may not score many points, grab many rebounds, or do much else on the court, but the Indiana Fever player has some strong feedback for four-time WNBA MVP and current league scoring leader A’ja Wilson.

Appearing on the revised version of her podcast, Cunningham said she believes the WNBA applied a “double standard” by not disciplining the Las Vegas Aces star over an incident with an Indiana Fever fan during the playoff series between the two.

Cunningham was called for a foul on Wilson in the fourth quarter of the Fever’s Game 2 win Tuesday, after which a fan stood and pointed at Wilson, who left the court to confront the fan before multiple teammates pulled her away. Wilson received a technical foul but was not suspended or punished further.

The Fever bench player felt the situation might have played out differently if it hadn’t been Wilson.

“She’s like the LeBron James of our league, and so of course they’re not going to suspend her … Something should have happened,” Cunningham said on Saturday’s No Hesitation with Drew Hanlen. “The two people who came off the bench onto the court, that should have happened. I think there’s definitely a double standard.”

Cunningham added that she didn’t want Wilson ejected because the Fever “would have gotten a lot of backlash from that,” especially if they’d won.

“We yell from the rooftops that we want equality, that we want to be treated like the men, that we want all this stuff and we deserve all these things, and we do, we do deserve it,” Cunningham continued. “But if you’re asking for all these fans to come— and you have new fans, who are real sports fans, and they come and do something that a sports fan would probably do if you’re on the opposing team, and then you’re going to go for him for just pointing, saying that you fouled? Grow up.”

While you can make the case that Wilson may have deserved further punishment, plenty of NBA players have had run-ins with unruly fans. It’s not really a male-female situation.

For her part, Wilson said the fan’s actions were “unacceptable” and apologized to her teammates for earning a technical foul. She returned in Game 3 to score 36 points and grab 10 rebounds, leading the Aces to a series victory and eliminating the Fever.

As for Cunningham, she finished pivotal Game 3 with five points, two assists, and one rebound. In three playoff games, she averaged 7.3 points and 1.3 rebounds. Even OutKick’s Dan Dakich admitted she “ain’t very good” and that the Fever should move on from her (and just about everyone else besides Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell).
