Sophie Cunningham , Indiana Fever shooting guard, couldn’t hold back her admiration for Phoenix Mercury’s Kalani Brown’s latest pre-game outfit. Brown shared a number of fit-check pictures on her Instagram before Saturday’s game against Seattle Storm. Brown looked every bit ethereal in a silvery mini-skirt with a gray top with cut-out details. The 28-year-old basketball center also strutted in gold-toned stilettos along with a silver mini-bag.

Cunningham took to the comments to share her reaction to Kalani Brown’s fashionista moment. Brown is making her debut for the Phoenix Mercury in this WNBA season, while Cunningham herself is making her first appearance for the Indiana Fever.

Sophie Cunningham definitely has an eye for fashion. The 28-year-old shooting guard often shares pictures of her fashion moments on her social media handles, much to the delight of her fans and followers. A couple of months back, Cunningham made social media sizzle while wearing a skimpy black bikini with cowboy boots and a matching hat in the back of a truck.

Apart from her stunning fashion moments, Cunningham seems to be also impressing on the court in her very first season with the Indiana Fever. In the current season, the guard is etching 6.5 points in each game, grabbing 3.3 rebounds and assisting 1.5 times in every matchup played.

Sophie Cunningham Shares Sweet Moment With Former Mercury Employee

On another note, Sophie Cunningham was pictured in a sweet moment meeting Derrick Nillissen, former Phoenix Mercury employee. Nillissen and Cunningham worked together during their time at the Mercury team when he worked as part of the coaching team in 2020.

Cunningham seems to have great relationships with the former employees of the Phoenix Mercury, despite being accused recently of having had a romantic relationship with the CEO of the Phoenix Mercury, Josh Bartelstein. Bartelstein is also the CEO of the Phoenix Suns in the NBA.

The rumors came to light last month and Cunningham has every bit denied it, admitting that the allegations have hurt her incredibly. The rumors were not taken lightly by fans, especially since Bartelstein is married and has children. After the reports started circulating, Sophie Cunningham revealed that she was never enlightened about the allegations and was never consulted before the news went to print. The news came to light through a lawsuit which was filed by former Phoenix Mercury employee, Gene Taylor.
