Sophie Cunningham: A'ja Wilson must 'grow up' over fan confrontation, says Fever guard saw nothing wrong

Sophie Cunningham did not hold back. On her podcast "No Hesitation" with co-host Drew Hanlen, the Fever guard said A'ja Wilson's confrontation with a fan "could have caused for suspension."

"If you want to get technical," Cunningham said, per sports.yahoo.com.

But Cunningham argued the four-time MVP would never face that consequence. "But she's like the LeBron James of our league, and, so, of course they're not going to suspend her," she said.

The Fever guard went further, emphasizing that Wilson — a 30-year-old four-time WNBA MVP and three-time champion — must "grow up." The exact context of that comment beyond the podcast is not in the source.

The episode was released Saturday, two days after Indiana lost a winner-take-all Game 3 to Wilson's Aces.

THE GAME 2 INCIDENT

Midway through the fourth quarter of Game 2, which the Fever won 99-89 at home on Tuesday, Wilson tried to fight through a screen set by Cunningham. They got tangled up, and Cunningham hit the deck.

Cunningham was called for a foul, much to the dismay of Fever fans, including one sitting behind the basket at Indianapolis' Gainbridge Fieldhouse who pointed at Wilson. That motion, along with what the fan said, angered Wilson.

The specific words the fan directed at Wilson are not in the source.

Wilson intensely approached the fan and said her piece before she was pulled back by teammates and an official. She was assessed a technical foul for unsportsmanlike conduct, but she remained in the game.
