Many players looked confident as they made their way into the stadium, stopping to smile for the cameras. Among them were Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham, both of whom are out for the season due to injuries.
In one comical moment captured on camera by Yahoo Sports, Clark could be seen trying to force a reluctant Cunningham to do the infamous tunnel walk ahead of the game. With a bare face and dressed in sweats and an oversized hoodie, Cunningham attempted to slip by unnoticed. Nevertheless, Clark pulled her along and made sure she had her moment in front of the cameras, drawing laughter from those watching.
Cunningham suffered a torn MCL in August, while Clark has been struggling with a groin injury since July. They have continued to support their team from the sidelines.
