The cities of Cleveland and Detroit have pushed back at Sophie Cunningham after the Fever guard questioned the WNBA's plan to expand into those cities.

Sophie Cunningham is trying to clarify her unpopular comments about the WNBA returning to Cleveland and Detroit.

Following news of the league's expansion plans, Cunningham threw shade at Cleveland and Detroit in particular, calling them cities that fans may not be that excited about when it comes to growing women's basketball. Cunningham instead named Miami, Nashville and Kansas City as her preferred pick of cities with "amazing opportunity."
