Fever news: Sophie Cunningham's Caitlin Clark admission will intrigue fans

Sophie Cunningham, a member of the Indiana Fever, has expressed her admiration for her teammate Caitlin Clark, who has had a stellar season despite dealing with a persistent back injury. Cunningham was Clark's first teammate when she joined the Fever during the 2022 season, which was the only season Clark missed due to injury. This year, Cunningham has been able to witness Clark's impressive performance more consistently.

Cunningham praised Clark's physical prowess, noting that she "didn't play last year and that was my first time really being on the team and being her teammate, but I really do feel like this year she is using her body so, so well." Clark's success is evident in her career-high averages of 22.5 points per game, a 45.6 percent field goal percentage, and a 37.3 three-point percentage.

While she may not secure the WNBA MVP award, especially with formidable competitors like A'ja Wilson and Kelsey Mitchell, Cunningham believes Clark has the potential to be a top three finalist in the award. Regardless of the outcome, Cunningham is confident that Clark will play a crucial role in the Fever's deep postseason run.
