Sophie Cunningham has dealt with some criticism during her first season with the Indiana Fever. On Friday, however, all she received was praise. Earlier this week, Cunningham made headlines when she was asked about the WNBA's expansion plans.

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham probably wishes she bit her tongue when discussing the WNBA's picks for its expansion cities.

Following news of the league's expansion plans, Cunningham threw shade at Cleveland and Detroit in particular, calling them cities that fans may not be that excited about when it comes to growing women's basketball. Cunningham instead named Miami, Nashville and Kansas City as her preferred pick of cities with "amazing opportunity."
