Earlier this offseason the Indiana Fever made waves with a complex trade that sent shockwaves through the WNBA.

The team traded for guard Sophie Cunningham as part of a three-team deal that sent the No. 2 pick in 2020, Satou Sabally, to the Phoenix Mercury from the Dallas Wings, who received point guard Ty Harris and the rights to Mikiah “Kiki” Herbert Harrigan from Phoenix and NaLyssa Smith from the Fever.

Cunningham immediately endeared herself to Fever fans by paying Clark the ultimate compliment and likening her to Taylor Swift.

“I told people upstairs I will be her Sabrina Carpenter any day to her Taylor Swift,” Cunningham said at the time. “I am so excited for this. I just think that she’s a great human too. She’s got a lot of pressure [on her shoulders] and a lot of eyes on her and she just nails it so gracefully and she’s just a great human so I’m just excited to be a part of something like that.”

As she prepares for her first season with the Fever in just a few months, Cunningham took to social media with a new post. On her Instagram Story she shared a photo of herself sitting poolside in a black swimsuit soaking up the sun.
