Sophie Cunningham was back on the court for the Indiana Fever on Saturday. The 6-foot-1 guard got the start for head coach Stephanie White in the Fever’s first preseason game.
Cunningham finished with 13 points, two rebounds, an assist and three triples in just 14 minutes of action. It was a good first game back for the Fever star, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in 2025.

Cunningham helped lift the Fever to a win in their preseason debut. They eased past the New York Liberty at Barclays Center, 109-91.
Caitlin Clark also played her first WNBA game back after a lengthy injury layoff. The two-time All-Star registered seven points, three rebounds, four assists and one 3-pointer in 17 minutes.
Cunningham is a native of Columbia, Missouri, and a long-time fan of the Kansas City Chiefs. So much so that her support has now extended not only to the players but also to their partners.

A testament to this is Cunningham’s two-word comment on Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Patrick and Brittany Mahomes attended the Stagecoach Music Festival at the Coachella Valley on Friday. The 30-year-old mom of three shared a collection of photos of her outfit from the event. Brittany Mahomes wore a white corset paired with ruffled lace shorts and cowboy boots.
Brittany Mahomes’ outfit turned a lot of heads on social media. Cunningham could not help but react. The Fever star had two words for Mahomes.
