Sophie Cunningham, a star player for the Phoenix Mercury, made a bold entrance at the Footprint Arena on Sunday night. Wearing an oversized Arizona Coyotes jersey, she caught the attention of many with her unique choice of attire, which included a red sweater, heels, and sunglasses.
The following day, Cunningham shared her look on social media and fans reacted to it. While some were confused by her game, others praised her appearance. Cunningham has been making a name for herself in the WNBA since being drafted by the Mercury in 2019. She has averaged 7.6 points and 1.3 assists per game in her career, shooting at 35.8% from 3-point range.
In recent seasons, Cunningham has shown value to the veteran Mercury team alongside Diana Taurasi, Brittney Griner, and Kaleah Copper. In fact, during the 2021 and 2022 seasons, she shot over 40% from 3-point range. During a recent game against the Storm, she contributed five assists and two rebounds while currently averaging 7.9 points per game this season.
Despite struggling with a poor record of 9-31 in the previous season but improving with a better record of 15-21 in 2022 and reaching the WNBA Finals in 2021 but losing to Chicago Sky, Fox News Digital’s sports coverage keeps fans updated with all news and updates from the league.
