Fever head coach Stephanie White also criticized officiating, stating after the game:
“There wasn’t an explanation for the tech she got… When officials don’t get control… they’ve got to be better.”
Caitlin Clark’s Deals Still Surging
While Cunningham rallying around Clark drew attention, the Fever’s star player continues to grow her brand off the court.
Clark’s trading card sales have been record-setting, underscoring her massive popularity.
These commercial successes speak volumes about Clark’s influence. Clark and Cunningham are close friends both on and off the court.
Fan Response and Continued Momentum
Cunningham has received waves of support following the incident. Fans flocked to the Fever’s team store, quickly snapping up her jersey, and her social media followers have skyrocketed across Instagram and TikTok.
“It’s cool, it’s funny what people are kind of attracted to,” Cunningham remarked.
“I’m just trying to keep the main thing the main thing… stick up for my teammates.”
