After spending her first six WNBA seasons with the Mercury, Cunningham was traded to the Fever over the offseason. Through her 30 games played with Indiana, the former Missouri Tigers guard averaged 8.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals per game, asserting herself as the team's enforcer.

Indiana Fever star guard Sophie Cunningham has unfortunately been ruled out for the rest of the 2025 WNBA season after suffering a knee injury.

Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham has no ill feelings toward Bria Hartley after the two were tangled during Sunday's game, resulting in Cunningham's season-ending knee injury. Cunningham acknowledged Tuesday night she tore her MCL after colliding with Hartley under the basket and had to be helped off the floor by team staff.
