Indiana Fever newcomers Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham have forged an instant on-court chemistry—and supporters are already whispering that their bond could be more than friendly. A candid practice snapshot of the two stars laughing together only amplified the buzz surrounding the duo’s easy rapport.
First-year coach Stephanie White has guided Indiana to a solid campaign, and Cunningham’s arrival has clearly helped. Remarkably, the Fever rattled off three consecutive wins—including the Commissioner’s Cup final—while Clark nursed a groin strain, a testament to both the roster’s depth and Cunningham’s two-way impact.
Clark, who previously missed five games with a quad injury, has now sat out four more as she carefully ramps up for a return. Although she is taking part in light drills, the All-Star guard has already been ruled out of Saturday’s matchup with the Los Angeles Sparks, so fans will have to wait a little longer for her comeback.
Clark’s playful hair compliment
During Friday’s practice the team posted a photo of Cunningham’s blonde ponytail flying mid-air. Clark shared it on social media with a cheeky three-word note—“Love this hairstyle”—drawing a wave of amused reactions from WNBA followers who can’t get enough of their friendly banter.
Cunningham, acquired from the Phoenix Mercury, is averaging 5.3 points, 4 rebounds and just under an assist a night, quickly winning over Indianapolis supporters. Clark remains the club’s engine at 18.2 points, 5 boards and 8.9 dimes per game, and Fever fans are counting down the days until the dynamic guard-wing tandem can share the floor again.
