Sophie Cunningham<\/a> 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!<\/p>\n

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\u2019re Gone”.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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

“You look sexier with knee brace, just saying,” one fan wrote on social media.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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

Remember, CC was spotted at the INVY nightclub for the WNBA All-Star Champagne Launch Party earlier in the summer.<\/p>\n

Injured or not, the Fever stars are proving they can still bring the heat — on or off the court!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sophie Cunningham Brace Yourself (Literally!) … Dances in Bikini After Surgery Published September 2, 2025 8:23 AM PDT…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":114583,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[49,48,44,82,865,866,630],"class_list":["post-114582","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-sports-news","tag-tmz-sports","tag-wnba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114582","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114582"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114582\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
