Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham created a buzz before the team’s WNBA game against the Chicago Sky on Saturday. Her pregame outfit, consisting of a black jacket over a sheer black outfit paired with heels, drew much attention as she walked the team’s rolled-out carpet for outfit checks. Cunningham engaged in several photo sessions with her teammate Lexie Hull, showcasing her fashion choices.
However, the highlight of her pregame appearance was cut short when she suffered an ankle injury and was ruled out of the game. Cunningham, acquired in a trade with the Phoenix Mercury in the offseason, has been a key player for the Fever, averaging 8.4 points and 3.9 rebounds in 40 games this season. Her shooting percentages from three-point range and overall field goals were 37.8% and 42.9%, respectively.
Cunningham’s fashion-forward approach has become a recurring topic of conversation on social media. Her ‘Love Island’ dress, worn in a previous game, sparked significant discussion among fans.
