"She's a bada** and stunning": Sophie Cunningham celebrates her agent with a heartfelt birthday message

Sophie Cunningham has had a successful WNBA career thus far, and some of the credit goes to her agent, Amanda Allen. On Sunday, the Indiana Fever star paid homage to Allen.

Cunningham posted a picture of the two side by side. The Fever star posed in all-black attire, while her agent posed in a denim jumpsuit.

"Happy birthday to the best agent out there!!!" Cunningham wrote. "Amanda Allen !! best year yet my girl 🤎🤎."

"Some ppl think she is my mom or my older sister and I am not mad at it. She's a badass and stunning," she added.

Cunningham is in her seventh season. She spent her first six seasons with the Phoenix Mercury and was represented by Navarro Thompson for her first few years. She signed her 2025 WNBA contract with the Mercury, while being represented by Allen.

In September, Cunningham and the Mercury agreed to a one-year, $100,000 deal. She later joined the Fever in February via trade.

Cunningham is out with an ankle injury and is day-to-day on the injury report.
