Summary
A 22-second stare-and-point from Sophie Cunningham at DeWanna Bonner during Indiana's 86-77 win over Phoenix became one of the WNBA season's biggest viral moments.
The gesture came late in the fourth quarter after Caitlin Clark and Bonner exchanged words following a foul, prompting Cunningham to step in without making physical contact.
Photos and clips from the June 22 game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse spread rapidly online, turning Cunningham's pose into a widely shared meme format.
The incident landed amid already heated Fever-Mercury tensions, with Alyssa Thomas — Bonner's fiancée — suspended Thursday for punching Clark in the throat.
Indiana next faces Los Angeles on Saturday without Clark, whose back injury was aggravated against Phoenix on Wednesday.
