On Wednesday's "Show Me Something," host West Wilson asked Cunnigham for her comments on the fake Bieber performing at XS Las Vegas.

"Dude, I think that's f***ing hilarious," Cunningham said (Timestamp: 22:24). "And how do they no know that's not him?"
"I was just about to say, I think he's a little thicker though. And I think if you're a Justin Bieber fan, you notice that. But I think, good for him. I say, no, fine. Good for him, man."

Cunningham added that she is a Bieber fan and would "definitely" watch Bieber's concert in Indianapolis.

According to "On Air With Ryan Seacrest" on Wednesday, the impersonator, Dylan Desclos, fooled the nightclub by using an advance team. Desclos sang one of Bieber's most popular songs, "Sorry," in a video reshared on X.

Seacrest said that The Wynn kicked Desclos and his team out and handed them a lifetime ban from the resort.


Sophie Cunningham comments on season-ending injury

Cunningham called the collision a "basketball play," and squashed rumors that Hartley intended to hurt her.

"I was just in the wrong spot at the wrong time," Cunnigham said on Wednesday. "She fell. There was no way she would go in there and intentionally try to hurt me. ... I have nothing but respect for Bria Hartley and all my opponents. My focus now is to recover and come back stronger."

Cunningham is the third Fever player to suffer a season-ending injury after Sydney Colson (ACL tear) and Aari McDonald (broken foot). In addition, star guard Caitlin Clark remains sidelined due to a right groin issue.

In her first season in Indiana, Sophie Cunningham averaged 8.6 points and 3.5 rebounds on 46.9% shooting, including 43.2% from 3-point range. She has a primary bench role with the Fever, but was inserted into the starting lineup last month. Before going down with an injury, the 6-foot-1 guard had started 13 consecutive games.
