Sophie Cunningham’s first season with the Indiana Fever was a success. The 6-foot-1 guard joined the Fever in the offseason via a 10-team trade deal from the Phoenix Mercury. Cunningham made an immediate impact upon arrival. She was a threat from deep and was deemed the team’s enforcer against overly physical foes.
Unfortunately for Cunningham, her season came to an end due to injury. She tore the MCL in her right knee in August, underwent season-ending surgery and was unable to help her team in the WNBA playoffs.

Apart from making waves on the basketball court, Cunningham’s popularity rose significantly during her time with the Fever. She capitalized on her fame by starting her own podcast. She teamed up with childhood friend and reality TV star West Wilson to start her own show entitled “Show Me Something.”
Cunningham also has multiple endorsement deals with various brands. One of her biggest sponsors is Adidas. On Thursday, the former Missouri Tigers star announced her latest offseason move in relation to that partnership.

Cunningham posted a selfie on her Instagram stories that was geo-tagged in Los Angeles, California. She added the caption, “let @nba all star weekend begin.”
Cunningham obviously won’t be playing in the upcoming NBA All-Star Game. As of writing, there are also no reports about the Fever star taking part in any of the official events of All-Star weekend.
In a succeeding Instagram story, Cunningham shared a video of herself at Adidas’ AntLAnd event. The sportswear giant has set up multiple activities in L.A. for the All-Star weekend. This includes AntLAnd, an immersive fan experience inspired by Minnesota Timberwolves star and Adidas athlete Anthony Edwards.
