'Thought They Were Just Doin It Cuz Of Ur Last Name': Sophie Cunningham, Sydney Colson Drops Reaction To ‘Aliyah Boston Day’ Announcement

Indiana’s IG posted the announcement, and Cunningham responded with a single laughing

emoji. Colson chimed in next:

“Girl, I thought they were just doing it cuz of ur last name lolol congrats AB!! @aliyah.boston” – Sydney Colson 

Boston’s reaction? Pure appreciation. She called it an “honor” ahead of her TD Garden return. It all makes sense. She’s from Massachusetts, played high school ball in Worcester, and has WNBA All-Star ties.

It also shows that Sophie Cunningham fits in with the inner circle of the Fever just like a glove. If Cunningham can toss shade like this, it means she belongs. That’s a big win for team culture.

And for Colson, the post taps into the crew energy: both she and Cunningham have been Clark’s sidekicks since draft day. As much as it sounds like banter, it’s them being tight within their circle on full display. It’s that sort of locker-room chemistry that keeps the team tight and fans invested.

This headline, this moment ties back to Sophie Cunningham’s role: someone who celebrates success with humor and heart. Whether she’s guarding opponents or poking gentle fun at Boston, she’s a key voice in the Fever’s dynamic. And that, right now, means everything.

Sophie Cunningham Celebrates Aliyah Boston’s Big Day with a Wink

When Aliyah Boston got her own day in Massachusetts, Sophie Cunningham was there to roast her in the best possible way.

Cunningham dropped a laughing face under the Fever’s post, her reaction saying more than any formal statement could. She kept it brief, but the vibe was clear: this was big, and it meant something to the squad.

Indiana coach Stephanie White even mentioned the sideline energy in the next game, specifically calling out players “feeding off each other” after the announcement.

That chemistry translates on the court. After the declaration, Fever faced the Sun at TD Garden, Boston’s hometown park. She honored it with a 14‑point, 9‑rebound night, while Cunningham backed her up with 8 points and a few key defensive stops to help seal the win.

Any player who can bag the points and add a little extra is exactly what any contender needs in a WNBA season as tight as this one. Sophie Cunningham is showing up for teammates, and for moments bigger than the scores. With July 14 now marked on the calendar, Cunningham’s laid-back attitude helps make a serious honor feel like family.
