Sophie Cunningham’s Indiana Fever contract explained amid ‘release’ rumours circulating online
Sophie Cunningham has become one of the most high-profile names in the WNBA since her comments about protecting young girls from competing against biological males emerged last month. Some people have thrown their support behind the Indiana Fever star, including using her face and image during rallies at WNBA games.
Sophie Cunningham's contract with the Indiana Fever remains a topic of discussion as rumours circulate that she may be released following the 2026 season. Despite these rumours, it is clear that Sophie is currently an unrestricted free agent after her one-year, $665,000 deal with the Fever. This means that she has the right to negotiate with any team during the free agency period, without any restrictions.
Fans have expressed varying opinions on the matter, with some arguing that she cannot be released since she is a free agent, while others believe that the Fever may still choose to negotiate a new contract with her. As the debate around transgender athletes in the WNBA continues, it remains to be seen whether Sophie will stay with the Fever beyond this season.
