Sophie Cunningham’s puzzling pregame outfit has Fever fans asking the same question

The Fever guard appeared ready for much colder weather as temperatures climbed toward 80 degrees in Indianapolis.

Sophie Cunningham’s puzzling pregame outfit has Fever fans asking the same question

Indiana Fever players arrived at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Thursday for a game against the Las Vegas Aces, with guard Sophie Cunningham standing out in a heavy, layered outfit. The 29-year-old veteran appeared to be dressed for winter rather than the 80-degree heat of Indianapolis, wearing a bulky brown jacket over a dark top, paired with loose-fitting pants, boots, and sunglasses.

While her ensemble was certainly stylish, it raised questions among Fever fans about whether she was adequately prepared for the warm August weather. The unusual clothing choice quickly became a hot topic of discussion, with some fans joking that Cunningham seemed ready for snow during a mid-summer game. Despite the attention on her fashion, the team's performance on the court proved to be the more disappointing aspect of the day.

Indiana fell 86-84 in overtime to Las Vegas, dropping the Fever to a 19-12 record and extending their losing streak to two games.
