Caitlin Clark's Response To Sophie Cunningham's Swimsuit Photo Is Going Viral
Before the Indiana Fever suffered a 100-91 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks on Tuesday night, Caitlin Clark's teammates decided to soak up the sun.
Leading up to the Fever-Sparks game, Fever guard Sophie Cunningham shared a video of her and Lexie Hull tanning by a pool. Her TikTok post included this caption: "We are off to our game tonight. Convince us there's a swimsuit brand that wants to partner with two Indiana Fever mermaids."
Cunningham and Hull combined for 8 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds during Tuesday's loss. That's not the type of production Indiana expects from these sharpshooting guards, that's for sure.
Although she replied before the Fever fell short to the Sparks on Tuesday, Clark called out her teammates for tanning prior to tipoff.
"Swimsuit brands plz comment 'focus on basketball,'" Clark wrote in response to Cunningham's TikTok post.
This comment from Clark received over 19,700 likes in less than 24 hours.
Cunningham didn't just go viral Tuesday night because of her TikTok post. She was nearly struck by a sex toy at Crypto.com Arena. This happened as she was standing by the free throw line.
"I was thinking about like, if someone threw that thing and like, first of all, the bounce that that thing had, if that smacks someone in the face, you know that's gonna be plastered everywhere," Cunningham previously said on her podcast.
Last week, the WNBA called out its fans for throwing objects onto the court. Another comment may have to be released after the Fever-Sparks incident.
"The safety and well-being of everyone in our arenas is a top priority for our league," the WNBA said in a statement. "Objects of any kind thrown onto the court or in the seating area can pose a safety risk for players, game officials, and fans. In line with WNBA Arena Security Standards, any fan who intentionally throws an object onto the court will be immediately ejected and face a minimum one-year ban in addition to being subject to arrest and prosecution by local authorities."
Cunningham and the Fever will be back in action Thursday night against the Phoenix Mercury.

Woman Ditches Her Friend's Birthday Lunch for Another Friend's ‘Last-Minute' Wedding. Now, She's Unsure If She Messed Up
'To me, a wedding (even a small one) carries more social weight than a recurring birthday lunch,' the woman wrote on RedditNEED TO KNOW A woman explained that she plans to ditch her friend's birthday party for another friend's last-minute wedding She said her friend, now upset, dislikes people 'who flake' The woman shared her story on Reddit, where opinions are divided over whether she mishandled the situationA woman said she's ditching a friend's birthday lunch for another friend's last-minute wedding, but she's not sure she's making the right decision. The 29-year-old woman detailed her story on Reddit's 'Am I the A------?' forum, where she said that her friend 'Sarah' invited her to an annual birthday lunch scheduled for the end of September. She explained that the lunch will be held in about a five-hour drive away from where she lives. The original poster (OP) went on to explain that she recently received an invitation from their mutual friend 'Katie' for a "very last-minute" wedding scheduled in the same city as the birthday party, just one week later. While the OP said Katie has been engaged for about 'three years,' she also said that the invite 'really came out of nowhere,' and so Katie said 'she understood if people couldn't make it.' And while the Reddit user said she RSVP'd 'yes' to the wedding, she now feels as though she's 'in a bind.' 'Whether I drive five hours or take multiple trains ($200), it's a long and expensive trip. Doing it once for Sarah's birthday was fine, but doing it again the next weekend for Katie's wedding is overwhelming,' she said. 'I'm also dealing with unexpected financial strain and bracing for loan repayment for my master's this fall.' The OP said that, because of this, she ultimately backed out of Sarah's birthday lunch — though she offered to celebrate with her another time. 'I'm just being realistic,' she continued. 'Two back-to-back weekends is a lot for someone coming from so far out of town.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. However, the OP said that 'Sarah didn't take that well,' and made it clear that she hoped all their friends would attend both events. The OP also said that Sarah 'distances herself from friends who flake,' and she's worried that she might be unfairly 'lumped into that category for setting a boundary.' 'To me, a wedding (even a small one) carries more social weight than a recurring birthday lunch [...], but I also get that Sarah made her plans first and that canceling after committing can sting,' she wrote. 'So, AITA [am I the a------]?' the woman asked at the end of her post. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! A number of Reddit users said that they thought the OP was in the wrong in this scenario — and that they understood why Sarah was upset. 'Sorry, but YTA [you're the a------] on this one. You honor the commitments you make. It isn't Sarah's fault that Katie didn't plan better for her wedding date.' 'YTA,' said someone else. 'You had already committed to Sarah. It doesn't matter that her birthday happens every year [...], you committed to go. Beyond that, it's super tacky to tell someone you will no longer attend their birthday because a new event is the next weekend.' Another person said, 'Ditching Sarah's long-planned event for Katie's (who even said she understands if people can't make it) last-minute event signals to Sarah that you don't value her friendship the same. You RSVP'd yes [and] that's a commitment. Sarah has every right to feel hurt.' One person, however, said that they think the real problem has more to do with Sarah and Katie's dynamic. 'NTA [not the a------],' they said. 'You all are in the same longtime friend group. Katie is finally getting married. But, Sarah didn't respond with a 'no problem, let's support Katie,' and Katie planned her wedding too close to Sarah's birthday. To an outsider, it seems like these two aren't very considerate of each other.' The same person continued, 'It sounds like you've faithfully attended Sarah's birthday celebrations in the past and want to make this one exception for a bigger life event. Your offer to meet up with Sarah after the wedding is a fair compromise on your part.' Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

NEWS OF THE WEEK: Jessica Biel reveals 'gross' habit of eating in the shower
Back in 2016, The Better Sister actress sparked intrigue online when she posted a photo of an empty plate, fork, and cup of coffee sitting on the ledge of her shower via Instagram. "Yes. I eat in the shower," she wrote at the time. "I admit it.". And during a recent interview for Real Simple, Jessica was asked whether she still snacks amid her bathing routine. "Of course, if you're drinking coffee in the shower, you might as well have food in there, too," she laughed. "Sometimes I'll have cereal in the shower. Or yoghurt and fruit. I've even had a piece of quiche in there.".
