Summary
Sophie Cunningham said on Saturday that Caitlin Clark is being targeted "every single game," accusing opposing players and referees of failing to protect the Indiana Fever star.
Alyssa Thomas punching Clark in the throat after Wednesday's game fueled the criticism, with Cunningham saying neither she nor her teammates saw it live and would have responded if they had.
Cunningham also revisited her viral exchange from the 86-77 win over Phoenix, calling her technical foul "the weakest thing" and saying DeWanna Bonner was enraged while Cunningham merely pointed.
The Fever guard widened her criticism to the league office, calling it "a joke" that Clark was left off a commemorative WNBA graphic and arguing the league is failing to market its biggest draw.
