Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham continues to prove that her popularity extends far beyond the basketball court. Already one of the WNBA’s most recognizable personalities, Cunningham once again captured the attention of fans after showing off a stylish workout look in a new partnership with Adidas.
The photoshoot, which featured Cunningham wearing eye-catching yoga pants, quickly gained traction across social media as fans flooded the comments with praise. Adidas embraced the moment by posting, “See this reflection? Obsessssssssed!” and thousands of followers appeared to agree.

The reactions poured in almost immediately, with one fan writing, “Love this color,” while another joked, “That BBQ paying dividends ma’am.” Others focused on Cunningham’s competitive spirit as much as her appearance, with one supporter saying they had become an Indiana Fever fan because of the veteran guard’s passion and willingness to fight for her teammates every night.
One of the league’s most marketable athletes
The overwhelming response is another example of Cunningham’s growing influence away from the game. After being traded from the Phoenix Mercury to the Fever, she has continued building one of the WNBA’s largest social media followings while expanding her profile through ventures outside basketball, including co-hosting a podcast with “Summer House” personality West Wilson.
Her ability to connect with fans through lifestyle content, fashion partnerships and social media has made Cunningham one of the league’s most marketable athletes. Whether she’s competing on the hardwood or collaborating with major brands, she consistently generates attention that extends well beyond traditional basketball audiences.
At the same time, Cunningham remains focused on helping Indiana achieve its goals on the court. The Fever are coming off an impressive victory over the Atlanta Dream as they continue their push toward a playoff berth in the 2026 WNBA season.
The Fever still has time to turn things around
The Indiana Fever are navigating a rough 5-5 start to the season, heavily compounded by a shooting and efficiency slump from superstar Caitlin Clark. The franchise have now lost three of their last four games following a road loss to the New York Liberty.
There’s still time to turn things around, but the most concerning aspect right now is that Clark isn’t playing well. Aside from getting into foul trouble in each of the last five games, Caitlin’s shot simply isn’t falling – which is concerning because her efficiency numbers took a hit from her rookie season to 2025, too.
Earlier this week, an unverified report suggested Clark could very well be on her way to the Los Angeles Sparks via a trade at some point soon. While that was very much only a rumor, and possibly a made-up one, it still has fans wondering if a trade is in the best interest of both the player and the team.
