Sophie Cunningham shares initial impression of joining Indiana Fever

During her introductory press conference last month, Sophie Cunningham shared her initial reaction when she learned about the news of her being traded to the Indiana Fever.

"My first thought was, 'Oh, heck yeah, we're about to go win a championship,'" Cunningham said.

"That's exactly where my mind went. It's all about the people; it's about the culture. I learned a lot out there, but I'm ready to move on, to something bigger and better, and have a lot of great players around me to seriously go win a championship."

The Fever made significant moves during the WNBA free agency to build a championship-contender team around Caitlin Clark ahead of her second season in the league.

As shared by the team's general manager, Cunningham is expected to be a perfect fit for the style of play they want, along with being a fierce competitor and a hard worker on both ends of the floor.

Sophie Cunningham concluded the 2024 season averaging 8.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals, shooting 42.9% from the field, including 37.8% from deep.
