Sophie Cunningham doesn’t need two perfect knees to bust a move … the WNBA fan fave was dancin’ in a tiny bikini, brace and all, just weeks after surgery!

A video of the Indiana Fever guard made waves over the Labor Day weekend, showing the 6’1″ athlete singing Renee Rapp’s song “I Think I Like You Better When You’re Gone”.

Cunningham, 29, did it while wearing a small two-piece bikini and a knee brace … the one she got after she tore her MCL on August 17.

Judging by Sophie’s moves, it seems recovery is lookin’ good … and her fans were lovin’ the good vibes, energy, and bawdy from Cunningham.

“You look sexier with knee brace, just saying,” one fan wrote on social media.

Cunningham — who averaged 8.6 points per game — was the third Fever guard to go down with a season-ending injury last month. Sydney Colson tore her ACL and Aari McDonald broke a bone in her foot during the August 7 game.

Caitlin Clark has been out multiple games, too … also dealing with injuries. Like Sophie, Caitlin hasn’t let the injuries stop her from dancing while recovering.

Remember, CC was spotted at the INVY nightclub for the WNBA All-Star Champagne Launch Party earlier in the summer.

Injured or not, the Fever stars are proving they can still bring the heat — on or off the court!
