Indiana guard Sophie Cunningham turned 30 on Sunday, August 16, and closed out the night the way most players would want to: on the winning side of an overtime thriller, 95-91 over the Atlanta Dream, with Caitlin Clark pouring in 26 points and Kelsey Mitchell extending her scoring streak to 19 straight games with 20 or more. Teammates surprised Cunningham with a candlelit cupcake in the locker room afterward. By the next morning, though, the internet conversation about her had taken a strange turn: people trying to even type her name on the WNBA's largest Reddit community were getting blocked.
