Sophie Cunningham grabbed headlines on Saturday when she served as a UFC ring girl. She grabbed headlines again the following day for her pregame outfit for the WNBA regular-season game between the Indiana Pacers and Las Vegas Aces.
The veteran guard arrived at Michelob Ultra Arena in a simpler attire compared to previous games. However, she still had a stylish ensemble on and turned a lot of heads. Cunningham wore a vintage-style, cream crewneck sweatshirt featuring a graphic of a cowboy riding a horse with the words “Coors COWBOY.”

The Fever have won three of their last four games despite the backcourt duo dealing with injuries. Cunningham was limited due to back spasms, while Clark is on a minutes restriction and did not play on Thursday. She also has some back issues but returned to action on Sunday.
Sophie Cunningham’s last 5 games
Cunningham is averaging 7.6 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 22.6 minutes. While the numbers are not eye-popping, she contributes more than what the stat sheets show.
Her tenacity and grit gives the Fever toughness and more possessions. Cunningham’s hustle and defense are also two of her best assets, allowing her to flourish on the court. Indiana will continue to rely on her as the season progresses, especially with the playoffs fast approaching. The team is 13-9 and currently fifth in the standings with 22 games left.
