“I want that next contract so I can buy a house,” Cunningham said on the latest episode of her Show Me Something podcast<\/a>. “I just want to feel homey and cozy, but I\u2019m not decorating anything again until I\u2019ve got a three-year contract in front of me.”<\/p>\n Cunningham \u2014 who joined the Indiana Fever in 2025 after six seasons in Phoenix \u2014 will hit free agency this winter. But for now, no free agents are signing until the WNBA<\/a> and its players’ association hammer out a new collective bargaining agreement.<\/p>\n As OutKick previously reported, the WNBPA<\/a> is pushing for higher salaries and a guaranteed percentage of league revenue (similar to the NBA model). The league’s current proposal includes higher salary caps but still ties revenue sharing to financial benchmarks.<\/p>\n The previous CBA expired on Friday<\/a>, and talks between the two sides remain at a standstill.<\/p>\n “I thought if we hadn\u2019t reached a deal by the 31st of October, it\u2019d be a lockout,” Cunningham said. “But it\u2019s not the case. So long as both sides are still negotiating, play goes on.”<\/p>\n (Photo by Michael Hickey\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n But while she waits on that next contract, Cunningham\u2019s been busy building her brand off the court.<\/p>\n After catapulting to WNBA fame as Caitlin Clark’s “Enforcer,” the 29-year-old has landed partnerships with major companies like Arby\u2019s, Ring and Adidas. In fact, her latest Adidas ad for “x’tra spicy” electric pink sneakers has gone viral on social media this weekend.<\/p>\n![\"Sophie](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/display-media-26.png\")
