Every week, new fans of the WNBA seem to discover how insanely talented and gorgeous the league’s players are.
Phoenix Mercury star Sophie Cunningham is up next as she made quite an entrance at the footprint center in Phoenix, Arizona.
The 27-year-old guard showed up to a recent game in a white top that exposed much of her upper chest and abs. She paired it with black cargo pants and brown heels.
The Phoenix Mercury posted a picture of her, and admirers showered the guard with compliments in the comments section. She assisted her team in defeating the Mystics 83-80.

We’re gonna have to have the conversation about how the league has become more marketable as the players have become more feminine….

In contrast to last season, Sophie Cunningham is vying for the title of Sixth Woman of the Year. The Mercury star has made an impression on both sides of the court and began the first two games off the bench. She’s shooting an amazing 50.0% from the field and 45.5% from three-point range, averaging 9.8 points per game, per ESPN.com.
The Phoenix Mercury are still right in the thick of things. They are currently one game above .500 with a 3-2 record.

Phoenix Mercury star Sophie Cunnigham is not just an athlete but also the team’s player representative for WNBA issues.
When she’s not advocating for her squad on social issues, she is delivering for them on the court.
The 2022 season marked the first time she averaged double digits for an entire year. She poured in 12.6 points per game while shooting 44.9% from the field. She also averaged 4.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.
Last season, Cunningham averaged 11.3 points per game.
So far, in 2024, she is just below double digits at 9.8 points per game.
