Sophie Cunningham: Offseason Adventures and a Viral Moment
Standout Player Keeps Active Despite Setback
Sophie Cunningham, a standout player for the Indiana Fever, is making the most of her offseason despite a knee injury that cut her 2025 WNBA season short. The injury, a torn right MCL, occurred during a game against the Connecticut Sun last August.
Staying Active and Engaged
Despite the setback, Cunningham has been far from idle. She continues to host her podcast, "Show Me Something," alongside her friend West Wilson. Additionally, she made an appearance on "Good Morning America" and starred in an Adidas ad.
NASCAR Championship Experience
Cunningham's offseason took an exciting turn when she attended the NASCAR Cup Series Championship at Phoenix Raceway. Her experience included:
- Riding in the pace car
- Attending Jordan Davis' concert
- Meeting drivers and other VIPs
One of the highlights was her brief meeting with actress Sydney Sweeney, whose photo with Cunningham went viral.
Insights from the Podcast
On her podcast, Cunningham shared her thoughts about Sweeney:
"She’s actually so nice. I think she’s a very nice girl."
Their conversation was short, lasting only a minute or two, but Cunningham mentioned that the event was a lot of fun.
Free Agency and Future Moves
As a free agent this offseason, it's unclear whether Cunningham will stay with the Indiana Fever. As one of the most popular players in the WNBA, her moves will be closely watched.
