Sophie Cunningham jokes her signature logo would be from Fever scuffle from this season

Sophie Cunningham has time to think about what life would be like with a signature logo, but she's not pondering it too seriously.

The Indiana Fever player who is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury responded to a social media post noting the signature logos of WNBA stars Caitlin Clark, A'ja Wilson, Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart and Angel Reese.

It inspired Cunningham to suggest her own -- a photo of her with a chipped tooth.

Cunningham suffered a chipped tooth June 17, when the Fever battled -- literally -- the Connecticut Sun.

Tensions boiled over when Connecticut's Jacy Sheldon poked Clark in the face, Clark responded with a push, and the Sun's Marina Mabrey knocked over Clark.

In the final minute of the game, Sheldon dribbled the ball on a fast break, and Cunningham wrapped her up before getting to the basket, spilling onto the baseline. Connecticut's Lindsay Allen joined the scuffle.

Cunningham suffered a torn MCL Aug. 17 against the Sun, a game in which the Fever rallied from a franchise-record 21 points behind to win in overtime. Her injury came in the normal flow of the game and was unrelated to the June 17 fracas. (Also, Sheldon had since been traded to the Washington Mystics.)

Cunningham has had surgery and is out for the rest of the season.
