Sophie Cunningham<\/a> averaged 8.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals with the Indiana Fever<\/a> last season. However, she played in just 30 games for the team and missed the playoffs after suffering an MCL tear in her right knee.<\/p>\n

This 2026, after signing a one-year, $665,000 contract to return to Indiana, Cunningham certainly looks better and healthier than ever. She’s off to a solid start, averaging 9.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in four games.<\/p>\n

In the Fever’s 89-78 win over the Seattle Storm<\/a> on Sunday, Cunningham came off the bench after starting in three straight games, but she still impressed with 17 points, three rebounds, one steal and one block.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Cunningham reflected on her season so far, and she couldn’t hide her delight. While the Fever are 2-2 on the season, it’s clear the 29-year-old guard has fully overcome her injury and is having fun playing once again.<\/p>\n

“happy to be back in action,” Cunningham wrote, while also sharing photos and videos of her pregame outfits and some highlights from the Fever’s recent games.<\/p>\n

Sure enough, fans absolutely loved Cunningham’s post, with many sharing how hyped they are to see her thriving on the court once again after her injury-riddled 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n

“We missed you Soph!!! So happy to see you back on the court,” a commenter wrote. Another one said, “Sophie you\u2019re the best!!!!! You’re the glue to the Fever.”<\/p>\n

“Happy to watch you back in action,” a poster added.<\/p>\n

Another fan stated, “Just straight THRIVING.”<\/p>\n

“Is there a more enjoyable personality in women’s basketball? I think not,” a supporter shared.<\/p>\n
