In the post, the Fever players, including Cunningham, were spotted boarding the team plane ahead of their matchup against Paige Bueckers and Co. Their game at the American Airlines Center will be the first of four against the Western Conference. They will follow it up with clashes against the Storm, the Sparks, and the Mercury.

The Fever travel to Texas on the back of three consecutive wins, the longest active win streak in the W at the moment. In Caitlin Clark's continued absence due to a groin injury, Cunningham has performed brilliantly.

Cunningham signed a one-year deal worth $100,000 with the Mercury before being traded to the Fever, and she’s been making it count. She’s played in 22 of the team’s 27 games so far, starting five, and is averaging 7.7 points and 3.8 rebounds per game while shooting 44.5% from the field.

Sophie Cunningham offers a candid take on Caitlin Clark being the face of the league

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham offered a candid response when asked about Caitlin Clark being the face of the league. On her new podcast "Show Me Something" this week, Cunningham went off on critics who claimed Clark wasn't the face of the WNBA.

"It literally like p*sses me off when people are like she's not the face of the league," Cunnigham said (44:58 onwards).
"We’ve got a lot of bada*ses in our league—like, hell yeah, I’m all for that. But when people try to argue that she’s not the face of our league ... you're dumb as sh*t."
