Sophie Cunningham shuts down Fever contract frustration convo
After reports of apparent frustrations from Sophie Cunningham over her one-year deal signed with the Indiana, the Fever guard shut down those remors.
As Sophie Cunningham prepares for her eighth WNBA season and second year with the Fever, the former Missouri Tigers product set the record straight on X about her apparent frustrations regarding her one-year contract signed with Indiana on April 12. Per Spotrac , Cunningham’s deal is worth $665,000, which far exceeds her 2025 salary of $100,000, thanks to the new WNBA collective bargaining agreement. However, Cunningham stated that the length of the deal is what drew her ire, as she hoped to sign a long-term contract that would allow her to buy a house in the area and eventually bring along her pet dog and donkeys, Brutus, Kevin, and Mark.
“I’m gonna shut this down right now,” Cunningham stated via X on Monday night. “I’m not mad about the money... I just wanted more years because I love it here.
I wanted to get a house so I could bring my dog and donkey to Indy with me. That’s it. That’s the truth.
I think we have something very special here in Indiana!! ” I’m gonna shut this down right now. I’m not mad about the money….
