WNBA Star Sophie Cunningham Addresses Rumors of Jealousy Toward Caitlin Clark: “This Is Bigger Than Basketball”
Amid rising speculation about tension and jealousy within the WNBA, Phoenix Mercury star Sophie Cunningham is setting the record straight. In a powerful statement, Cunningham addressed rumors suggesting resentment towards rookie sensation Caitlin Clark, stating that the real focus should be on unity and empowerment in women’s sports.
“If you’re a hater or you’re jealous, you’re not in it for the right reason,” Cunningham asserted. “You’re not empowering young athletes and women in sport.”
Caitlin Clark, who recently made headlines with her historic NCAA run and transition to the WNBA, has sparked massive attention around the league. While the increased spotlight has brought both praise and scrutiny, Cunningham emphasized that now is the time to uplift, not tear down.
“This is about more than basketball,” she added. “This is about empowering women in sports.”
As the WNBA continues to grow, voices like Cunningham’s are calling for a culture of support and solidarity among athletes. Her message serves as a reminder that the ultimate goal is not only excellence on the court, but also a unified front off it — paving the way for the next generation of women in sports.
