Sophie Cunningham Reveals Caitlin Clark Rule Amid WNBA Offseason

The Indiana Fever ended the season on Sept. 30 after losing in the semifinals of the WNBA playoffs. They fell 107-98 in Game 5 to the Las Vegas Aces.

Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham didn't play in that game after previously suffering season-ending injuries.

Clark suffered a right groin injury during a game on July 15 against the Connecticut Sun, while Cunningham tore her MCL on Aug. 19, also against the Sun.

It's now been the offseason for a little while, and the players are enjoying their time off.

Cunningham made a public appearance and did a short interview with Front Office Sports on Sunday.

She did a rapid-fire Q&A, and one of the questions was, "Last player to run your socials?" Cunningham didn't hesitate in her answer and gave her one rule about Caitlin Clark.

"1,000% Caitlin," Cunningham said. "1,000%. She is a (expletive) starter, and so she would definitely start some (expletive) on there."

Cunningham and Clark have become great friends since Cunningham was traded from the Phoenix Sun to the Fever last offseason.

She was drafted in the second round of the 2019 draft and played six seasons in Phoenix.

In her lone season with the Fever, she averaged 8.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game.
