WNBA star Caitlin Clark responded to recent anti-trans comments from her teammate Sophie Cunningham, saying leagues should work with athletes “to find solutions” regarding trans girls and women in sports. “I think it’s for leagues and governing bodies to work with their athletes to find solutions,” the Indiana Fever guard told reporters on Sunday after the team’s loss to the Minnesota Lynx.Clark said the topic of trans girls and women in sports isn’t something she and her teammates discuss in the locker room. “Our focus is on basketball,” Clark said. “That’s what we talk about and how we can get wins, and obviously, we didn’t do that tonight. So we need to find an area to improve in that way.” Caitlin Clark #22 of the Indiana Fever celebrates with Sophie Cunningham #8 on June 8, 2026 in Washington, D.C.

She told ESPN last month that she feels qualified to speak on the topic because she’s a woman in sports. “I got a lot of negative feedback about me hating trans [people],” Cunningham told ESPN. “And I’m like, ‘I never once said that.’ I think that I am here to extend love. But I also think with that love is truth, being honest. And I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.”A few days after the ESPN article came out, Cunningham doubled down, saying, “I said what I said. I think it’s kind of common sense. And I think I’ll always believe in that. I think it’s really important to protect children, and that’s little girls who are also involved in that category. I stand on what I said.”Meanwhile, during the Fever’s Sunday night game against the Minnesota Lynx, Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve sported a T-shirt that read “Trans Kids Belong” with a rainbow featuring the colors of the trans flag in an apparent response to Cunningham.

It was nice to be in person, for sure.”Outside the arena in Minneapolis, fans stood with signs that read “Trans Athletes Belong,” but others carried signs saying “Trans women are men.”After the game, Cunningham posed with Riley Gaines, a conservative commentator who is known for her anti-trans views. Gaines attended the game with a sign that read, “Sophie, thank you. -A girl mom.”
