Congratulations are pouring in for WNBA star Sophie Cunningham on Sunday evening.
Cunningham, 28, is in her first year with the Indiana Fever. She was traded from the Phoenix Mercury to the Indiana Fever this offseason. Cunningham, who starred collegiately at Missouri, has been a key guard for the Fever, also serving as Caitlin Clark’s quasi enforcer.
The former Phoenix Mercury guard took Jacy Sheldon to the ground during a game last weekend. Sheldon, who starred collegiately at Ohio State, had hit Clark in the eye earlier in the game. Cunningham has made it clear that she will stand up for Clark if the referees choose not to.
Cunningham has since been blowing up on social media. She’s hit one million followers on Instagram and has become one of the most-followed players in the sport.
