Sophie Cunningham had been a crowd favorite ever since she joined the Indiana Fever. With her aggressive playing style and vibrant nature, the Fever guard showcased how important she is for the team. Now, the 29-year-old does not only have a fiery attitude, but she also dropped some banger performances to back up her flamboyance.
And while Cunningham subtly hinted at a career shift post-retirement, her association with the Fever is highly sought after. Cunningham had a brutal knee injury midway through the season. But before she retired for the season, her leadership skills in the absence of Caitlin Clark were telling. Thus, as free agency is about to commence, fans want the 29-year-old to stay with the Fever.
Will Sophie Cunningham Re-Sign With Indiana Fever?
Cunningham had quite a decent season donning the Fever jersey. She dropped averages of 8.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.0 steals per game. What’s more? Cunningham also recorded career-best figures in terms of field goal percentages and three-point shooting. Surely, the fans would not want to let go of such a talent.
Cunningham is currently a free agent. With CBA negotiations underway, officials expect player salary caps to rise significantly next season. Thus, it is quite understandable that athletes like Cunningham will be waiting for things to get sorted. This way, she will be in a position to maximize her finances to her advantage.
