Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham has been far more than an 8.9-points-per-game scorer this season.

She has brought a relentless intensity and what many would call a true dawg mentality. That was on full display in an early season meeting with the Connecticut Sun when she gained attention for standing up for Caitlin Clark after Jacy Sheldon and Marina Mabrey got into it with Clark.

She has been turning heads off the court as well. The 28-year-old hasn’t been shy in front of the camera. On Thursday, a poolside photo made the rounds on social media. In it, Cunningham wears a one-piece swimsuit with a tropical pattern in vibrant shades of orange, green, yellow and purple.

The one…
The only…
