In the second quarter of the Fever's game against the Los Angeles Sparks, a dildo was thrown onto the court. It landed near Cunningham's feet, which caused her to react. Sparks star Kelsey Plum came in and kicked it back into the crowd.

Less than two weeks ago the 28-year-old guard was fined $500 by the league for criticizing its officials in a TikTok video from July 18, in which Cunningham lip-synched the lyrics "Stupid, or is it, slow? Or maybe, useless?" from Sabrina Carpenter's "Manchild" song with the caption "@ some refs" on the screen.
