Sophie Cunningham is nurturing her ACL injury and will play for the upcoming season. The unrestricted free agent for the 2026 season faces a tough reality check as the Indiana Fever lock in Kelsey Mitchell as the top free agency target.
But that isn’t stopping the versatile forward from being close to the franchise and in the offseason openly supported the Indiana teams and players.
Though she is not active on the court, she already signed a contract with Project B for its inaugural season in 2026, ensuring her participation in the new league. Amid this, she is conducting her podcast and also giving interviews. In her recent interview, she opened up about her favorite vacation spot.
Sophie Cunningham Opens Up On Her Preference For Vacation Spot
The 29-year-old forward is very aggressive on the court, looking to win the game for her team. Even in her podcast or interviews, she is very blunt with her answers. Many would expect her preference for a vacation spot to be a happening or crowded place. But the star revealed her choice, which is completely opposite to fans’ imagination.
“I haven’t done this in probably a couple of years, but my favourite place would be either on a lake, in the ocean, on a boat with my friends, family, relaxing, drinks flowing,” Cunningham said in an exclusive interview. She already mentioned her love for the lakes and other water bodies where she can sail.

Interestingly, she found a perfect sponsorship partner that complements her dream vacation destinations, and the star also agrees with the same.
