Whether it is on or off the court, Indiana Fever fan favorite Sophie Cunningham<\/a> knows how to make a headline and get the WNBA<\/a> fans buzzing. That was once again the case on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Throughout the day, photos began to surface online of the Sixth Player of the Year candidate enjoying a boat day as part of her delayed 30th birthday celebration during the league’s FIBA Women’s World Cup<\/a> break.<\/p>\n

From there, dating rumors began circulating with photos of Cunningham and Grand Canyon University head athletic trainer Frank Adams cozying up together went viral.<\/p>\n

It’s important to note that Cunningham nor Adams have not confirmed that she is in a relationship, but that hasn’t stopped social media from running with the story.<\/p>\n

Sophie Cunningham Has Not Confirmed Boyfriend Speculation<\/p>\n

Cunningham and Adams were spotted together during the birthday celebration, which ignited the viral rumors, and it’s not the first time that the two have been linked.<\/p>\n

They were previously seen together enjoying Grand Canyon basketball games and at a GCU bowling event, though neither have commented on the speculation. The photos, however, were cherry-picked from a group gathering and boat day, which included family and friends.<\/p>\n

Cunningham has emerged as one of the WNBA’s most popular players since joining forces with Caitlin Clark in Indiana. She has been outspoken about a number of topics, including her stance on transgender athletes in sports, which sparked plenty of discourse, but when it comes to her personal dating life, Cunningham has remained private.<\/p>\n

This season, Cunningham is averaging just 8.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.3 assists for the 26-14 Fever, who return to the court in one week on Friday, September 18, following the league’s FIBA Women’s World Cup break.<\/p>\n
