Sophie Cunningham is staying right where she is.
The Indiana Fever announced on Sunday that they have re-signed their veteran guard Cunningham. Alexa Philippou of ESPN adds that Cunningham is getting a new one-year deal from the Fever.
“I have a feeling that this is going to be another special season,” Cunningham was quoted as saying in the wake of her new deal. “So I’m excited to get things started and to, of course, keep playing in front of the best fans in the WNBA. Let’s get spicy!”
Cunningham, 29, became a fan favorite last year during her first season in Indiana. While she only averaged 8.6 points and 1.2 assists per game, Cunningham turned herself into something of a household name after defending superstar teammate Caitlin Clark during a game.
The seven-year WNBA veteran Cunningham has also since raised her profile with her popular podcast “Show Me Something.” On that podcast, Cunningham has managed to get herself fined multiple times by the WNBA for her outspoken comments.
Now Cunningham is set to run it back in 2026 on a Fever team that just re-signed Kelsey Mitchell and Lexie Hull and added Monique Billings and Tyasha Harris to complement their core of Clark and Aliyah Boston. It has been a big month of April as well for Cunningham, who just shared the photos that she posed for in this year’s SI Swimsuit edition.
