Sophie Cunningham finished her first season with the Indiana Fever several months ago after suffering a season-ending injury.

Cunningham was playing herself into the starting lineup under head coach Stephanie White, but the injury eventually kept her sidelined for the rest of the season.

She played alongside some of the best players in the league, such as Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston.

During her time with the Fever, Cunningham emerged as one of the most popular players in the league. She was vocal on social media and happened to be an energy booster on both ends of the court for White.

On Wednesday, Cunningham reacted to a latest report from Google.

Cunningham was reportedly one of the Top 10 most searched athletes in 2025 on Google, unexpectedly coming ahead of her Indiana Fever teammate, Caitlin Clark.

Cunningham was ranked at No. 7 among all American athletes and No. 1 in the WNBA landscape.
