"The recent reports concerning Josh Bartelstein and Sophie Cunningham are entirely false and morally reprehensible," the statement read.

The Fever could have used Cunningham's 36.2% career 3-point shooting in Tuesday's loss to Atlanta.

Cunningham, who played for the Phoenix Mercury from 2019-2024, called the allegations "false," "untrue" and "extremely hurtful" in a statement shared to social media.
