What happened: Sophie Cunningham has returned to action following an earlier exit. She initially went to the locker room to receive treatment for back spasms.

Why it matters: The quick return provides an immediate boost to the rotation. While back issues can often be lingering, her clearance to resume playing suggests the training staff found the spasms manageable in the short term.

What to watch: Her minutes and overall mobility will be monitored closely for the remainder of the contest.
