Sophie Cunningham, the newly acquired guard for the Indiana Fever, has generated a lot of buzz during the offseason, especially following a major trade. In a three-team deal, Cunningham moved to the Fever, while the Phoenix Mercury received Satou Sabally, and the Dallas Wings gained Ty Harris and other assets. Right away, Cunningham made an impression on fans with her playful comment comparing herself to singer Sabrina Carpenter, calling Caitlin Clark “Taylor Swift” in the basketball world. While she admitted it was all in good fun, Cunningham praised Clark’s influence on the sport, noting that the superstar’s presence has benefited both the players and the game on a global scale.
Before the start of the 2025 WNBA season, Cunningham also teased a personal move, posting a cheeky video featuring Summer House star West Wilson. The video showed Cunningham flaunting her figure in a skintight bodysuit while hinting at something exciting brewing in her personal life. Fans are already eager to see what she brings to the court this season, especially with the stacked roster of the Fever.
Cunningham is enthusiastic about joining the Fever’s high-profile lineup. With notable players like Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston, DeWanna Bonner, and Natasha Howard, Cunningham is ready to support her teammates and contribute wherever necessary. She expressed that while Clark is clearly the star player, she is happy to play a supporting role, especially if that means getting open for a three-pointer when needed. Cunningham’s excitement to play alongside such a talented roster only adds to the Fever’s already high expectations for the upcoming season.
As the 2025 WNBA season approaches, Cunningham and her new team will face off against the Chicago Sky, led by Angel Reese, on May 17. This matchup will kick off what promises to be an exciting and competitive season, with the Indiana Fever ready to make their mark in the league.
With Cunningham’s dynamic presence both on and off the court, fans are eagerly anticipating how she’ll contribute to the Fever’s success. As the season progresses, it’s clear that Cunningham’s energy, both in her playful personality and on the court, will be one of the key highlights to watch in the 2025 WNBA season.
