Cunningham said she still knows her value after The Athletic called her a distraction and argued the Fever should move on.

- Buckner argued Cunningham is "too combustible" to be paired with Clark, citing her controversial July 21 ESPN profile comments regarding transgender participation in women's sports.
- Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha defended Cunningham on Thursday, calling the column "irresponsible" and arguing she is "there to protect the star" during heavy physical play.
- On Friday, Cunningham appeared with co-host Drew Hanlen to discuss the article, stating she knows her value, noting "It's not always in the stat sheet."
- Following the Fever's Oct. 1 playoff elimination, Cunningham remains focused on her future, declaring "I'm going to continue to do me" regardless of external criticism.
