Sophie Cunningham is known for her unfiltered takes off the court. While she recently suggested Lauren Betts work more on her game, the 29-year-old star is enjoying her offseason to the fullest. Now, as the new WNBA season is around the corner, there has been some significant noise as to which team Cunningham will be playing for next.
Joining the Indiana Fever last season, Cunningham had an impressive run. One of the main highlights of the season was her close bonding with Caitlin Clark. In fact, her knack for protecting Clark on the hardwood earned her the nickname of ‘enforcer.’ Owing to her unprecedented fame, Cunningham also received a shoutout from UFC President Dana White. Interestingly, in a recent update, the 6’1” star dropped some interesting hints.
Will Sophie Cunningham Remain With The Indiana Fever In 2026?
Last year, following Clark’s season-ending injury, Cunningham took charge of the team. And while she was doing well, the Missouri native had a brutal MCL injury that forced her to retire to the bench. Thankfully, she has now fully recovered and is raring to go. But the big question is, will she don the Indiana jersey again?
In a recent update from the ‘Show Me Something’ podcast’s Instagram page, Cunningham could be seen dancing. And she was dancing inside the Fever locker room, reminding her fans about the upcoming WNBA season.
“Mood when the W is back in 5 weeks,” read the video’s caption.

Surely, this is an exciting piece of news for the fans. As the 29-year-old is not under contract, she is in free agency. Moreover, the Fever star recently bypassed the Indiana ownership while praising her rivals. Such a stance further raised questions as to whether we would see Cunningham suit up in Fever colors.
Thankfully, Caitlin Clark wants the former Phoenix Mercury back in the team.

Last season, Clark and Cunningham could have made a fearsome duo. But injury played spoilsport as the face of the WNBA could play only 13 games. Now, speaking about the current season, the Iowa native said fans must prepare to see many familiar names leave the Indiana Fever. But the one person whom she wants to stay with is the 29-year-old.
Commenting on one of Cunningham’s earlier TikTok videos, Clark wrote, “Time to run it back.”
Thus, with all the signs pointing towards a second successful stint with Indiana, fans would wait with bated breath to see what transpires next.
