Caitlin Clark, Fever Teammates React to Sophie Cunningham's Exciting Post
Sophie Cunningham has established herself as a household name among Indiana Fever supporters this season. Apart from what she brings to the table for Indiana, the 6-foot-1 guard's popularity received a massive boost after she got ejected from the Fever's win against the Connecticut Sun on June 17.

Cunningham was tossed from the game after being called for a Flagrant foul 2 on Sun guard Jacy Sheldon late in the fourth quarter. This occurred after Sheldon was involved in an incident with Caitlin Clark earlier in the game, in which the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year was poked in the eye and then pushed to the ground.
Fans believed that Cunningham was acting in retaliation for Clark, which had them praising the Fever veteran for her actions.
On Sunday, Cunningham took to Instagram to share a couple of snaps of her wearing Damian Lillard's latest signature shoe with Adidas. Cunningham, who, according to her own Instagram profile, is an "Adidas athlete," is part of the sportswear brand's marketing push for the new Dame X kicks.

Cunningham posted a series of pictures featuring the "Dolla Red" colorway of Lillard's latest pair.

Cunningham's Fever teammates were quick to show their support to the 28-year-old guard. Clark was one of the first to like Cunningham's post, along with Aliyah Boston, Lexie Hull and Aari McDonald.
Hull also added a comment on the post: "🤤🤤🤤," while rookie Kay Timpson had a similar response: "😍😍"

The Fever are a tight-knit group, and they go out to support each other both on and off the basketball court. These relationships will be pivotal as this team looks to challenge for the title this season.

Guardians pitcher Shane Bieber is slated to make a rehab start on Tuesday
CHICAGO (AP) — Cleveland Guardians pitcher Shane Bieber is slated to make a rehab start in the Arizona Complex League on Tuesday. Bieber is coming back from Tommy John surgery in April 2024. He had a setback when he experienced soreness during a bullpen session on June 3. The 2020 AL Cy Young Award winner had a bullpen session in Cleveland on Sunday. Bieber made two starts for the Guardians last year, going 2-0 and striking out 20 in 12 scoreless innings. The right-hander agreed to a $14 million, one-year contract in December that includes a $16 million player option for 2026. Trevor Stephan, another right-hander who is coming back from Tommy John surgery, was hit hard in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Columbus on Sunday. He recorded one out and was charged with four runs and two hits. The Guardians also said infielder Gabriel Arias is expected to start running the bases in the next few days. Arias is coming back from a sprained left ankle. Outfielder Chase DeLauter, one of the team's top prospects, was out of the Columbus lineup again on Sunday. He has been playing through some right wrist soreness, and he had an uptick in symptoms Saturday. The Guardians said the plan is to have DeLauter evaluated to determine a plan for him moving forward. ___ AP baseball:
