Sophie Cunningham Shares Fourth of July Post Amid Indiana Fever Hype originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As the Indiana Fever stride into the second half of the 2025 WNBA season off a three-game winning streak, the team’s 9-8 record places them third in the highly competitive Eastern Conference.

After sharing a controversial take on WNBA expansion, Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham provided clarity on her recent remarks.

Following news of the league's expansion plans, Cunningham threw shade at Cleveland and Detroit in particular, calling them cities that fans may not be that excited about when it comes to growing women's basketball. Cunningham instead named Miami, Nashville and Kansas City as her preferred pick of cities with "amazing opportunity."
