WNBA Players Goofing Off Before a Match

Sophie Cunningham and Lexie Hull were spotted enjoying some downtime poolside before their game. And then there’s Caitlyn Clark—maybe she was or wasn’t doing the same, who knows?

Cunningham, who plays for the Indiana Fever, shared a TikTok showcasing her in a bikini ahead of the game against the Sparks in Los Angeles. She also took a moment to promote support for their team.

In her video, she playfully asked, “Convince us there’s a swimwear brand out there that we’d love to team up with, two Indiana Fever mermaids,” which, honestly, is kind of cute.

The top comment came from Clark, who suggested that swimwear brand PLZ was “focused on basketball,” which is kind of, well, on-brand for her.

Cunningham quickly replied, humorously suggesting that maybe the brand could design a full-body wetsuit for Clark. “We’d all win!” she added, sparking more laughs.

This TikTok post has gone viral, amassing over 1.5 million views, and it’s all in good fun. I mean, it’s just a game, right? Interestingly enough, earlier in the season, Cunningham defended Clark during a heated moment on the court, showing that their friendship runs deep.

Cunningham has referred to Clark as the “face of the WNBA” and didn’t hold back defending her against critics. During a recent incident, Cunningham expressed her frustration over people doubting Clark’s star power, saying it really “pisses me off.”

She drew attention to how Clark faced tough treatment from opponents, especially during her rookie season. “It was clear that they wanted to show her what the league is all about,” she mentioned, reflecting on some of the challenges rookies face.

Even though Cunningham’s been in the league for a good bit now, it seems she’s still quite passionate when it comes to having her teammate’s back.

This year, Cunningham is averaging 8.0 points per game and hitting 41.9% from the three-point line, showing she’s quite a player herself.
