Caitlin Clark will have some new weapons to utilize during the 2025 WNBA regular season.
Clark, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, led the Indiana Fever to the playoffs in Year 1. The Fever lost a first round series to the Connecticut Sun. The Fever are committed to going deeper in 2025.
Indiana acquired veteran WNBA guard Sophie Cunningham in a four-team trade with the Phoenix Mercury earlier this offseason. Cunningham, who averaged 8.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game in 2024, should bring a steady presence to the Indiana backcourt.
She also brings a big following on social media.

Cunningham, who starred collegiately at Missouri, turned heads with a “cheeky” swimsuit photo shared to her Instagram Story on Monday.
She’s been trending.

The Fever are excited to bring Cunningham into the fold during the 2025 season.
“Sophie is a player that we have targeted for a while, and one that we believe is a perfect fit for the style we want to play,” said Fever General Manager and COO Amber Cox. “She is a fierce competitor, works incredibly hard on both ends of the floor and is one of the best shooters in our league. We are excited to add her to our squad.”

The Fever will certainly be one of the most followed teams in the WNBA during the 2025 season.
