Cunningham missed the first two games due to injury. She returned for four games but aggravated her ailment and has been on the sidelines again. Cunningham also chipped a tooth after a game.

Off the court, the former Mercury guard's name was mentioned in a lawsuit against the Suns. Cunningham was alleged to have had an affair with CEO Josh Bartelstein, who is married. Cunningham denied the accusations on May 21.

On Sunday, she used Instagram as a way to get things off her chest.
