Sophie Cunningham Reflects on Indiana Fever’s Struggles With Team Chemistry

Turbulent. That is an understatement when we’re talking about the Indiana Fever’s run this year, with Sophie Cunningham as witness. Injuries, the uneasy roster shuffle, and the resulting team chemistry is pointing towards a handicapped push into the final few games.

“I think when you have a situation, like us, where you have a new roster literally every five days, it’s like you want to peak, but at this point, you’re just trying to catch some type of rhythm,” Cunningham admitted, highlighting the emotional and strategic toll of the revolving door of teammates.

The team can’t cohere fast enough. Everything needs time to cure before it gets harder than a rock. Sophie Cunningham can’t feel that right now despite knowing the potential that’s waiting to explode.

“And you can keep saying, ‘Oh, you know, it’s just part of the game. It’s just professional.’ But at the end of the day, it’s hard to catch a rhythm and chemistry when you only have two days together,” she added, underscoring the disconnect between expectation and reality.

But despite all this, Sophie Cunnigham still believes. They need the right timing, connection, and trust. The Fever are still fighting, but the path has been anything but stable.
