Sophie Cunningham said last week that she would likely not watch any of the WNBA Finals in order to distance herself from the “toxicity” of the league this past season. On Tuesday, the\u00a0Indiana Fever<\/u><\/a> guard confirmed she hadn\u2019t watched the first two games of the series.<\/p>\n

Cunningham was surprised to learn that the Las Vegas Aces had taken a 2-0 lead over her former team, the Phoenix Mercury, when discussing the Finals during the latest episode of her podcast,\u00a0“Show Me Something.”<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

“Hell no. I haven\u2019t watched a lick of the\u00a0WNBA.<\/u><\/a> I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on. I talked to my teammates the day that we did exit interviews and all that. I need a cleanse. I\u2019m booking vacations,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I really just do need a break from it. Good luck to whoever\u2019s going to win, I honestly don\u2019t care who wins this Finals. And I don\u2019t \u2013 I\u2019ll be quiet. I\u2019m stopping myself.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last week, Cunningham indicated that she would likely not watch the Finals, citing the “drama-filled” season she and her Fever teammates had to endure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t even know if I\u2019m going to watch. I\u2019m over it. I need a break from the toxicity of the WNBA. It\u2019s been a drama-filled season for multiple reasons,” she said. “I\u2019m drained.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

FEVER STAR SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM CONTINUES CONDEMNATION OF WNBA COMMISSIONER: \u2018CATHY, NO ONE CARES\u2019<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

In addition to the number of injuries that plagued the Fever, including Cunningham\u2019s own season-ending injury, the veteran guard was among the several WNBA players to publicly call out the league and\u00a0Commissioner Cathy Engelbert<\/u><\/a> over concerns about officiating and the ongoing collective bargaining agreement (CBA) negotiations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m just tired of our league. They need to step up and be better. Our leadership from top to bottom needs to be held accountable. I think there are a lot of people in positions of power in the WNBA, who they might be really great businesspeople, but they don\u2019t know s— about basketball. And that\u2019s gotta change,” Cunningham said during her exit interview last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I think it\u2019s pretty shameful that she always makes it about her, Cathy, when it should have nothing to do with her,” she added about Engelbert.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite her disappointment with the leadership in the league and officiating this past season, Cunningham spoke highly of her first season in Indiana.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Our locker room was so close-knit and so fun and just so full of love that, like, I\u2019ve never been a part of a locker room like that, ever, and it was awesome. It was also the season from hell because of the injury bug, but through it all I\u2019m grateful. I think the relationship and the memories this team created is going to be one for a lifetime.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
