When Sophie Cunningham arrives at the arena for Indiana Fever games, her outfit always turns heads. But the one time she showed up looking not so camera ready, Caitlin Clark<\/a> wasn’t going to let her get away with it.<\/p>\n The WNBA’s X account posted a video on Sunday<\/a> of Clark making her pregame outfit walk. Noticing Cunningham attempting to duck away off camera, Clark shouted, “Wow, get Sophie, guys!”<\/p>\n That’s when the Fever<\/a> superstar grabbed her teammate and dragged her down the hallway, forcing Cunningham to do her own pregame outfit walk. Sophie was rocking an oversized gray T-shirt, gray hoodie, black sweatpants and Adidas sneakers.<\/p>\n “She’s fresh out of bed, everybody!” Clark joked.<\/p>\n Turns out it wasn’t just a joke. It was entirely true.<\/p>\n “I literally just woke up, brushed my teeth and walked out,” Cunningham commented on the Instagram post<\/a>.<\/p>\n The fresh-out-of-bed look is, of course, a stark contrast from Cunningham’s usual pregame ‘fits that almost always go viral. You can imagine why.<\/p>\n That’s okay, Sophie. You’re certainly entitled to dress for comfort over style every once in a while \u2014 especially when you’re not even playing.<\/p>\n Recovering from a torn MCL, Cunningham<\/a> is one of five Fever players sidelined with a season-ending injury, joining\u00a0Clark (groin, quad, ankle), Chloe Bibby (knee),\u00a0Sydney Colson (torn ACL)\u00a0and Aari McDonald (broken foot).<\/p>\n But that didn’t stop the Fever from getting a huge 89-73 win over league MVP A’ja Wilson<\/a> and the No. 2-seeded Las Vegas Aces<\/a> in Game 1 of the semi-finals. What’s even more impressive? The Aces had a fully healthy roster \u2014 not a single player on the injured list.<\/p>\n After the game, Cunningham summed up the victory (and Fever star Kelsey Mitchell’s monster performance) in one word: “sheeeeeeesh.”<\/p>\n Game 2 of the best-of-five series is set for Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. ET in Vegas.<\/p>\n
