The Indiana Fever guard signed a one-year, $665,000 contract on Sunday. She celebrated in a special way.

Cunningham announced that she got baptized in an adult ceremony.

Cunningham forms an impressive guards trio on the Fever, along with former No. 1 overall pick Caitlin Clark and Lexie Hull.

The Indiana Fever guard and her teammates are called "Tres Leches," which translates from Spanish to "three milks. The nickname refers to a popular Latin American sponge cake.

"We saw it on Twitter at some point, and people ran with it," Hull previously told Fox News Digital of the nickname. "It was funny."
