Sophie Cunningham may be new to Indiana, but she’s already making it feel like home.
Since her offseason arrival from Phoenix, the 28-year-old guard has wasted no time leaving her mark — not just in the Fever’s rotation, but in the hearts of fans. Whether it’s her no-nonsense defense, timely three-point shooting, or fiery energy during key runs, Cunningham brings more than numbers to the floor.
She brings presence.
And now, with Indiana preparing for a crucial matchup against the Seattle Storm, Cunningham has given fans one more reason to smile — this time, off the court.
A Personal Touch for Fever Faithful
On Monday, Cunningham announced something special on her social media accounts: she’s partnering with Prime Time Signings to host a private autograph session on August 10, offering fans a rare chance to get signed memorabilia personalized directly by one of the league’s rising fan favorites.
“Sophie Cunningham will be doing a PRIVATE SIGNING for us 8/10/25,” she wrote. “Get your orders in or send in your memorabilia to get signed. Details are on our website www.PrimeTime12.com.”
It didn’t take long for the news to take off.
From inside jokes to genuine appreciation, the replies flowed in.
“Tres leches tee coming your way,” joked one fan.
“Let’s rock,” added another.
“Would Sophie sign me if I mailed myself in?” asked a third.
It’s that combination of grit and humor — toughness on the floor, warmth off it — that has made Cunningham such an instant fit in Indiana.
More Than Stats
Through eight games with the Fever, Cunningham is averaging 5.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game — steady contributions that don’t always show up in the headlines, but matter every bit on the scoreboard.
She leads huddles. She calms chaos. And when the tone of a game needs shifting, she’s the first one to do it.
“We knew she’d bring edge,” said head coach Stephanie White earlier this month. “But what she’s brought in terms of leadership — that’s been huge.”
Her ability to connect with fans is equally impressive. From Instagram Q&As to sideline interactions, Cunningham’s sense of humor and openness have made her a natural in a media-savvy league.
And this autograph signing? Just another reflection of how well she understands the value of building relationships beyond the final buzzer.
Timing Is Everything
The announcement comes at a key moment in the Fever’s season.
With a 6-7 record heading into Tuesday’s game, Indiana is fighting for a playoff push in a crowded Eastern Conference. Clark continues to dazzle. Aliyah Boston anchors the paint. Kelsey Mitchell adds a steady scoring hand. But it’s the “glue players” like Cunningham who make the engine run.
“Every team needs a voice,” said one Fever staffer. “Sophie is that voice.”
Her signing session — low-key, fan-centered, and right on brand — mirrors the way she plays: no flash for the sake of flash, just real energy where it matters most.
“Sophie Is Doing It All”
It’s easy to overlook moves like these in the middle of a WNBA season.
But for Fever fans — many of whom have followed the franchise through its ups and downs — the opportunity to connect directly with players like Cunningham is what turns casual observers into lifelong supporters.
One fan perhaps put it best in the comments section under her post:
“Sophie is doing it all.”
On the court. Off the court. In the paint. On Instagram.
Whether she’s grabbing key rebounds or signing jerseys in the offseason, Sophie Cunningham isn’t just playing for Indiana.
She’s becoming part of it.
