"Damn sis": Sophie Cunningham can't contain her feelings as Kalani Brown turns heads with sheer elegance

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham raved about the pregame outfit that Phoenix Mercury's Kalani Brown rocked in their last game.

Brown, who was part of the four-team offseason trade that sent Cunningham from Phoenix to Indiana, shared a carousel of photos and video on Instagram on Monday of her pregame attire in their home game against the Seattle Storm on Saturday.

She rocked a silver skirt and gray top, which she complemented with high heels and accessories. She captioned her post with:

"Face matching the physique.. ✨"

Among those who reacted to her post was Cunningham, who was all praise for her, writing in the comments section:

"damn sis 🔥🔥🔥"

The Mercury, however, lost to the Storm, 89-77, in Saturday's game to drop to 6-4 for the season. Brown played 13 minutes off the bench and had eight points on 4-of-7 shooting and grabbed three rebounds.

Phoenix next plays on Wednesday against the Dallas Wings also at the PHX Arena.

Sophie Cunningham says pregame outfits for her come on a spur of the moment

Sophie Cunningham is no stranger to turning heads for her pregame outfits. She has been eclectic in her fashion choices and confident with them.

The seven-year guard out of Missouri spoke about her pregame outfit choices in an interview with the New York Post that came out last September, sharing the ideas for her outfits come as a spur-of-the-moment thing.

Sophie Cunningham said:

“For me, it really is just like a spur of the moment type thing. If I’m feeling being cozy and sporty, I go that route. If I feel like I want to be a little feisty and turn some heads and be a girly girl [I go that route].”

The same fashion sense and mindset pregame remain for Sophie Cunningham now as a member of the Indiana Fever, where she landed in the offseason after spending her first six years in the WNBA with the Phoenix Mercury.

She, however, has been limited to just four games so far out of a possible eight for the Fever (4-4) as she battles injuries to her foot. In the games she has played, Cunningham has averaged 6.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 22 minutes.
