The Indiana Fever have officially signed guard Sophie Cunningham to a one-year contract as they prepare for the 2026 WNBA season. Cunningham, who previously played six seasons with the Phoenix Mercury, is rejoining a roster that includes returning stars Kelsey Mitchell and Lexie Hull. Last season, the Fever finished with a record of 24-20 and made it to the WNBA semifinals, where they lost in overtime to the Las Vegas Aces. Injuries plagued the team throughout the season, limiting key players like Caitlin Clark, who played only 13 games. Cunningham averaged 8.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game, showcasing her shooting prowess with a 43.2% success rate from beyond the arc. Expressing excitement for the upcoming season, Cunningham emphasized the importance of continuity and the special bond within the team. The Fever's season opener is scheduled for May 9 against the Dallas Wings.
