If anyone in the WNBA speaks straight from the heart and stays true to it, it’s Sophie Cunningham. She delivers what she promises and even sticks to her words, even if the league fines her or critics criticize her for her stand.
After the recent stoppage in the CB discussions, the Fever forward didn’t hold back and warned that the WNBA CBA Stalemate is heading toward a lockout with zero progress reported. The clear and straightforward stance makes her one of the trusted athletes in the league.
But now even she is posting cryptic messages on social media, and fans are now guessing the meaning of her recent message.
Fans React To Sophie Cunningham’s Mysterious Message
The players tend to break the news, creating a lot of mystery around it or hype around it to have a bigger impact on fans. While Cunningham certainly never did such things before, she recently posted a message about the news at the end of the month.
In the message Cunningham wrote, “Excited to share some stuff with you guys towards the end of the month.”

Apart from the forward’s message, there is a lot of mystery around the future of the Fever’s free agent with the expansion draft and free agency coming up next in the schedule. Here is what Caitlin Clark has to say about those unknowns.
Caitlin Clark Wants Sophie Cunningham At the Indiana Fever Next Season
The Indiana Fever front office will be in a dilemma following the team’s performance in the 2025 season. With every player proving its importance and worth on the roster, the Fever team would find it difficult to cut any of them.
Clark, though, made her intentions clear, wanting the former Missouri star back in the lineup. Though the star mentioned that fans might see many players leaving in the 2025 offseason, the superstar guard doesn’t want Sophie Cunningham amongst them. Under one of Cunningham’s TikTok posts, Clark wrote, “Time to run it back.”
Cunningham gave a playful response not long after: “Only if you cuddle and make me dinner twice a week.” While many predictions mention that the Fever will not protect Cunningham in the expansion draft, the rookie’s message might change that narrative. The pair has great chemistry and connection on and off the court. And fans would also want them playing together in the upcoming season.
