Despite missing out on a chunk of the season, Caitlin Clark just cannot be kept out of the limelight. Playing just 13 games this year so far, the update on Clark’s injury has been quite sombre. However, her antics last year have extended her fan base exponentially. And Sophie Cunningham has turned out to be one such staunch admirer of the 23-year-old. But recently, one of Cunningham’s replies to a troll made it clear just how strong the bond between the two really is.
The 28-year-old joined the Indiana Fever earlier this season. And right from the word go, Cunningham has struck a close friendship with the 2024 Rookie Of The Year. But when a fan tried to mock her friendship on social media, the 28-year-old did not hesitate to reply in an unfiltered manner.
Sophie Cunningham Takes On Internet Troll With Savage Reply
Cunningham is well known for her protective nature on the court towards Clark. It is for this very reason that the 28-year-old has even been hilariously invited to sign a wrestling contract. Thus, it is pretty much certain that anybody trying to demean their relationship will face the wrath of the ‘enforcer.’
It all began when the Indiana Fever star attended the Indiana State Fair. Enjoying her day out, Cunningham posted a picture on social media where she could be spotted posing with goats. Immediately, one fan made a collage of the picture with that of Cunningham posing with Clark. Comparing the two, the fan wrote, “These are the same picture.”

Surely, this was an attempt to troll Cunningham’s close bonding with the Fever star. Thankfully, the former Missouri Tigers star was not the one to back down. She immediately took a jab and wrote, “They smell the same too.” The comment immediately went viral and had the fans reeling on social media.
