When two fan favorites from Indiana connect online, the entire sports community pays attention. That is exactly what happened when Sophie Cunningham dropped a single word under Jade Jones’ new Instagram post and instantly set off a wave of reactions. The Fever star may be sidelined right now, but her presence off the court remains powerful and full of personality.
Jade Jones, the fiancée of Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton, recently shared a stunning courtside photo from Gainbridge Fieldhouse. With a stylish brown fur shawl, bold boots, and a short fitted dress, her look immediately captured the attention of fans. But it was one comment that stole the spotlight above all others.
Sophie Cunningham, who has formed a genuine friendship with Jade and Tyrese since joining the Indiana Fever, jumped into the comments with a playful one-word reaction. She wrote Mamiiii along with a fire heart emoji and a breath-exhale emoji, a message that fans instantly recognized as pure hype and admiration. Despite recovering from a knee injury that ended her debut season in Indiana, Sophie continues to support the city, the Pacers, and her close friends with her signature energy.
Her relationship with the Pacers couple has grown noticeably this year. Sophie is often spotted at Pacers home games cheering alongside teammates like Caitlin Clark and Lexie Hull. Even when she cannot attend in person, she shows her support through social media, and her interactions with Jade have become fan favorites on Instagram.
Jade and Tyrese themselves have built a strong relationship since meeting in 2019 at Iowa State University. From college days to the NBA spotlight and even the Paris Olympics, Jade has supported Haliburton through every milestone. Their engagement earlier this year at Gainbridge Fieldhouse only made their love story more loved by Indiana fans.
Moments like this comment show how tightly connected the Indiana basketball family has become across both the WNBA and NBA. It is these small but heartfelt interactions that fans love to watch, and Sophie’s personality continues to shine even when she is not on the court.
