Country music star Blake Shelton showed up to Indiana Fever practice and Sophie Cunningham was stunned.
Cunningham, 29, was in the middle of training when she saw the eight-time Grammy nominee, and she lost concentration.
Cunningham walked over to Shelton with her jaw dropped and simply said, “I just lost concentration. Stop it.”

Shelton showed her his personalized Fever jersey, with his own last name and the number 7. He then kissed her and told her it was good to meet her.
Cunningham was in disbelief at Shelton’s jersey, saying, “It’s so good.” Shortly after, Fever coach Stephanie White introduced Shelton to the entire team.
Caitlin Clark was shown in the video inviting Shelton to work out. The 49-year-old left training after taking a few photos and said: “See you guys!”

Cunningham seized the moment and responded, “See you, Blake,” with a laugh.
The Fever caught up with Shelton a day before playing his second preseason game. They won their first preseason game 109-91 against the New York Liberty, despite Clark’s poor shooting.
Clark made 2 of 10 shots as she looked to shake off some rust after playing in just 13 games last season while dealing with a litany of injuries. Cunningham had 13 points, two rebounds, an assist and two steals in the win in just 14 minutes of work.

Cunningham, like Clark, is also returning from injury this season. She tore her MCL last August and missed the rest of the season.
The Fever’s second preseason game will take place against the Dallas Wings on Thursday at 7 p.m. ET.
