Caitlin Clark Receives a Powerful One-Word Message from Sophie Cunningham After Fever Update
Caitlin Clark’s journey with the Indiana Fever just took another dramatic turn as the team sits at an even 8-8, preparing for their showdown in the 2025 Commissioner’s Cup Championship against the reigning champs, the Minnesota Lynx. Remarkably, these two squads haven’t crossed paths yet this season—their first official meeting isn’t slated until August 22 in Indianapolis, kicking off back-to-back clashes later in the year.
But before those matchups, the Fever have been navigating some turbulence. Star guard Caitlin Clark has been sidelined with a groin injury, missing the last two games. Indiana stumbled at home against the Sparks, but rebounded in Dallas, pulling off a gutsy win without Clark’s leadership on the floor.
Then, on Sunday, Clark’s spirits were lifted with some electrifying news: she’s been named one of the two captains for the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game, thanks to her overwhelming support in the fan vote. She’ll share the honor with Minnesota’s Napheesa Collier, who will stand opposite her as co-captain.
The announcement set social media abuzz, but it was Sophie Cunningham, Clark’s teammate, who delivered the most memorable reaction. Taking to Instagram, Cunningham summed up her excitement in a single, powerful word:
“Gang.”
That one-word post spoke volumes. Cunningham, a 2019 second-round pick out of Missouri, may not be lighting up the scoreboard—she’s averaging 5.6 points per game—but her leadership and fierce loyalty to Clark have made her an invaluable presence on the Fever roster. She’s become not just a vocal leader, but also Clark’s on-court protector, always ready to step up when it matters most.
Cunningham’s season hasn’t been without its own challenges. She battled through an ankle injury that cost her five games earlier in the year. Yet, in the recent win over Dallas, she logged 24 minutes and chipped in five points, showing her trademark grit.
Looking ahead, the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game is set for July 19 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The full list of starters will be revealed Tuesday, with coaches picking the reserves soon after. For the first time, Clark and Collier will draft their all-star squads from the pool of talent on July 8—a new era for both stars as captains.
