Cunningham suffered the injury in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Connecticut Sun when Bria Hartley fell into her leg. Cunningham remained down in visible pain as she clutched her knee before being helped to the locker room.

The nature of the incident and Cunningham's pained look in the aftermath sparked immediate fears that the sharpshooting guard had suffered a serious injury, something Indiana knows all too well this season. She was scheduled for an MRI on Monday, and on Tuesday afternoon, the Fever confirmed fans' worst fears.
