Sophie Cunningham celebrates Indiana return with SI Swimsuit Heat Check
Sophie Cunningham has just resurfaced with the Indiana Fever — and let’s just say she celebrated like she knocked down the game-winner at the buzzer.
For her rookie run with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, Cunningham didn’t just step into the spotlight — she owned it. SI Swim completely turned up the heat, dropping a BTS clip of the one-off “Spicy Sophie,” doing whatever it took to improve the shot. Her caption was pure woman crush energy: “Is it hot here or is it hot?” [Sophie Cunningham] re-sign with the bus [Indiana Fever] 🌶️🔥,”
And Sophie? She was in her bag the whole time.
“I’m having a lot of fun,” she says while cycling between shoots. “Seriously, this is the best day of my life. I’m in swimsuit number 3; I’m about to change into number 4. Heat is a mindset. We’re OK. The water’s a little cold, but I’m literally having the best day. So, here we go – the last album.”
That’s exactly the mentality that put him on the map last season. The 6-foot-1 guard became a fan favorite after filling in for teammate Kaitlin Clark — a moment that showed she’s not just about buckets, but backbone, too. Since then, she’s been capitalizing on that spotlight with brand deals and now a major SI Swim debut.
And for Cunningham, it’s not just a photoshoot — it’s bigger than that. “It’s probably one of the most empowering things I’ve ever done,” Cunninghamshey said. “I really think, like, kick out on the court. And then kick out in the real world being a woman who is strong, who is powerful and who has the mentality that she can do anything.”
Oh, and he hasn’t expanded his game either. Cunningham is set to make her broadcast debut with studio coverage on USA Network during the 2026 WNBA season.
On the court, off the court, in front of the camera. Sophie is running a full-court press Everyone Lane now.
