Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham was on the receiving end of some brutal treatment by the Washington Mystics in the first preseason game of her WNBA season.
The Fever played without star Caitlin Clark, who was absent due to a minor injury that was described as 'a little tightness' in her left leg.
So it was Cunningham that led the way for Indiana. However, she didn't do so without a bit of bruising.
In the second quarter, Cunningham was fighting for a rebound with Mystics rookie Kiki Iriafen.
Iriafen had her arm wrapped around Cunningham's torso and then flung her to the ground as the ball got away from them.
Cameras caught Cunningham getting right back up and barking at Iriafen, 'You don't mother******* do that.'
Iriafen, a rookie out of USC, was hit with a flagrant foul for her indiscretion.
That wasn't the only time Cunningham hit the deck as the result of a Washington player's aggression and competitiveness.
She was also shoved to the ground by Mystics guard Brittney Sykes. This time, it was Cunningham's teammate DeWanna Bonner that defended her - screaming at the opponent for the foul.
At the end of the game, it was Cunningham who had the last laugh.
Despite coming off the bench, she shot an impressive 6-for-11 from the field and scored a team-high 21 points alongside eight rebounds and two assists in a 79-74 overtime victory.

Those white gals need to fight back and trash talk like Larry Byrd did. LOL
The officiating in this women’s league is reprehensible!!
Refs should be purged, and start with a new crop!
Why do these black bitches get away with this? Never mind, I answered my own question.
Jungle-ball.
Over her after the white privilege remark.
You know that I fell in love with a roller derby queen
Around and round, a round and round
The meanest hunk of woman that anybody ever seen
Down in the arena
It’s not as much basketball as it is Roller Derby meets a game with nets. LOL
The abused player is white, surprise, surprise, surprise. Clark is thinking better you than me.
The aforementioned Ms Cunningham is Caucasian. Surprised?
Some quotes from the lovely lady....
“Clark said she recognizes there is an element of white privilege to her stardom, that the Black women who laid the foundation for this current explosion in interest in women’s sports were never afforded a spotlight as bright and intense as the one that shines on her.
“I want to say I’ve earned every single thing, but as a white person, there is privilege....”
“The more we can elevate Black women, that’s going to be a beautiful thing.”
Forgot....
These are Clark’s quotes.
Dr. Dealgood: Listen all! This is the truth of it. Fighting leads to killing, and killing gets to warring. And that was damn near the death of us all. Look at us now! Busted up, and everyone talking about hard rain! But we’ve learned, by the dust of them all... Bartertown learned. Now, when lesbians get to fighting, it happens here! And it finishes here! Two lezes enter; one lez leaves.
Thunderdome.
Wow that would be great....a little Larry Bird style trash talking....but the victim this time did react, and not in silence.
Jungle Ball was what we called in back in the day. Or to be what is now called politically correct, tackle or full contact basketball. Played on asphalt courts. White boys learned a lot in those few years of early integration.
She saw what the league did to CC last year so she was probably anticipating on this sort of "hazing" happening to her.
Did you go to an all white school?
boons
Unfortunately.
Hire some 8 foot tall muscle bound trannies what thinks they are womenz- then let’s see how rough the other team wants to get!
