Fever star Sophie Cunningham reveals latest personal obsession

Sophie Cunningham is one of the most popular WNBA players today. Fans can’t get enough of her on-court performances and activities off it, and her social media following continues to grow.

Cunningham became a fan favorite after the Indiana Fever acquired her in January 2025. She has since established herself as an enforcer but still shows a soft side outside the court. The Missouri product is back at 100% this season after playing only 30 games last year due to a torn MCL.

She is a big part of the rotation and is playing well this year. While Cunningham’s averages of 9.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.3 assists are not eye-popping, she contributes beyond what the stat sheets show. She provides Indiana with a lot of hustle and leadership, helping the franchise with its goal to reach a championship.

Fever star Sophie Cunningham shares what her favorite book series is

The 29-year-old shared that she has swapped going to bars and restaurants for bookstores. She also revealed via Wednesday’s Instagram story that she is “obsessed” with the book series “A Court of Thorns and Roses.”

“Don’t pay attention to how I look right now,” Cunningham said. “We just landed in Portland. Today, I have to call two games with USA Sports, and I have like 20 minutes, 15 minutes before I have to start getting ready. And I’m reading ‘A Court of Thorns and Roses,’ and I am obsessed.

“I used to go to restaurants or maybe bars when I was younger. Now, I’m at massive bookstores. I really don’t know how to find a book in a store this big, but I just came across this. So excited. I’m obsessed. This is a big one. Yeah, maturity.”

“A Court of Thorns and Roses” is a fantasy romance book series. It follows the story of Feyre Archeron, a 19-year-old human huntress trying to feed her poor family, written by American author Sarah J. Maas.

Meanwhile, Cunningham and the Fever have won four consecutive games and are 18-10 for the season. They will return to action on Friday to face the Portland Fire at Moda Center.
