Cunningham's photoshoot was in promotion for the Yates Buick GMC dealership in Arizona. She first posted the pictures on March 7:

"Get in loser, we’re going backroadin," Cunningham wrote in the caption.

In her post on Monday, Cunningham tagged the Instagram accounts of the dealership, owner Whitney Yates Woods and photographer Michael Franco.

Clark remains sidelined due to a right groin injury. The two-time WNBA All-Star has missed 15 straight games. Meanwhile, Cunningham suffered a season-ending MCL tear during Indiana's 99-93 overtime win over the Connecticut Sun on Aug. 17.
