The Indiana Sophie Cunningham fever guard started last Wednesday with just over 300,000 Tiktok subscribers that came out of a animated match against Connecticut Sun, who saw her eject when she distributed a remuneration before the buzzer resounded.
As she turned with the SOLAR GARE JACY Sheldon, who had pushed Caitlin Clark into her eye earlier in the game, she became an instantaneous sensation. Cunningham had previously become viral before for her outfit choices when she was with the Phoenix Mercury. However, even she can admit that she has never seen her popularity hovering as she has done in the last six days.

On Saturday, Cunningham exceeded more than a million followers on Tiktok and thanked his new fans for their appreciation.
“Should buy a beer or 2! Cheeeers Friends,” she legend a video.
Tuesday morning, Cunningham had 1.4 million followers from Tiktok.
Cunningham won a huge favor for his apparent defense of Clark, which was not only pushed to the face, but pushed to the ground in the team’s victory on the sun.

She was sentenced to a fine for her actions after the fault on Sheldon and for ejection, but she was categorical in her defense of Clark.
“During that, it was just part of the game. I think the referees had a lot to do with it. It was an accumulation for a few years now, not protecting the star player of the WNBA,” Cunningham told journalists a few days after the team lost against the Golden State Valkyries. “In the end, I will protect my teammates. That’s what I do.”
Before Sunday’s match against Las Vegas AS, Cunningham showed its link with Clark and his compatriot teammate Lexie Hull. She wore a shirt that said: “Very Lesches”.

Cunningham and the fever have struck a spell losing the last two games, but have the opportunity to return to the right track on Tuesday evening against the Seattle storm.
