Sophie Cunningham is owning her recovery with that trademark sarcasm and unexpected optimism, even after a potentially season-wrecking MCL tear. On her podcast Show Me Something, she cracked, “Actually, rehab is kind of fun. This sounds really bad cause there’s like five of us in there, and we are all going through it, and three of us are kind of doing like the same rehab. So yeah, which is weird.
Still, she’s not letting the injury define her. Sophie Cunningham is leaning on humor and camaraderie to soldier through rehab — five Fever players are currently on the injury list, and that shared suffering is bonding them, weird as it may sound.
Even though the season ended abruptly, Sophie Cunningham is showing that the end of her court time isn’t the end of her influence. She’s kept the vibe upbeat, joking about her brace dances and posting cheeky updates via social media. The rehab may feel strange, but for Sophie Cunningham, it’s also a rare and fun hotspot of unity.
Despite the setback, Sophie Cunningham hasn’t lost her edge or her voice — and yeah, it might be the best part of her season so far.
Sophie Cunningham has some Words of Warning to Angel Reese
Sophie Cunningham has entered the Chicago Sky drama, offering a sharp warning to Angel Reese after her recent comments. The Phoenix Mercury guard stressed that locker room conflicts should be handled carefully, saying team unity must always come first. “It’s not great. There’s just some things that you can’t say. I’m a very team first type of person. I always put the team before my feelings and I think that should be a standard. You got to protect your locker room,” she explained.
Cunningham’s words carry weight, given her reputation for competitiveness and leadership. She has long preached accountability, and her point was clear: frustrations cannot spill out in ways that disrupt chemistry. For Sophie Cunningham, it isn’t just about basketball—it’s about building the right culture.
The disconnect between Angel Reese and the Sky has been magnified by her suspension and reinstatement, with some seeing her comments as a push for stronger teammates and higher standards. But with Chicago still fighting to steady its season, Reese faces a choice—continue pressing for change or take Cunningham’s advice and protect the locker room.
