Caitlin Clark’s newest teammate, veteran guard Sophie Cunningham, is excited to be playing next to the Indiana Fever star moving forward.

Cunningham, who played collegiately at Missouri, comes to the Fever after being traded from the Phoenix Mercury. She is excited to be somewhat of an enforcer in the backcourt, playing next to the former Iowa Hawkeyes guard.

“She has changed our game in the best possible way in every way,” Cunningham said in a previous press conference. “Just to be alongside of her and maybe relieve the pressure, being able to shoot and spread the court for her to go do her thing… I want her to go do her thing, and anything she needs from me, I’m gonna be here.”

She added: “I’m fierce, I’m sassy. I stick up for my teammates. I stick up for myself. Sometimes, I think that’s OK — to be feisty and be yourself.”

Cunningham, who has a big following on social media, has been trending for her latest photos on Instagram.

The Indiana Fever are excited to have Cunningham on the roster for the 2025 season and beyond.

Indiana acquired Sophie Cunningham and the No. 19 selection in the 2025 WNBA Draft from the Phoenix Mercury, along with guard/forward Jaelyn Brown from the Dallas Wings. In exchange, the Wings received forward NaLyssa Smith, and the Connecticut Sun received the No. 8 selection in the 2025 WNBA Draft from Indiana.

“Sophie is a player that we have targeted for a while, and one that we believe is a perfect fit for the style we want to play,” said Fever General Manager and COO Amber Cox in a statement. “She is a fierce competitor, works incredibly hard on both ends of the floor and is one of the best shooters in our league. We are excited to add her to our squad.”

She added: “On behalf of the Fever, I’d also like to thank NaLyssa for her contributions over the last three seasons and wish her the best of luck in her next chapter.”

It’ll be fun to watch Cunningham playing alongside Clark in 2025.
