Sophie Cunningham reacts to Matt Rife’s move

Sophie Cunningham enjoyed another busy weekend. She was in attendance at the NASCAR Cup Series championship race at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday. The ex-Indiana Fever star also reacted to popular comedian Matt Rife’s move.

She and country singer-songwriter Cole Swindell delivered the iconic line before the race started. Cunningham turned heads at the event on social media, with many praising her looks and how she said the instruction to the drivers. It was her second appearance an a NASCAR race after also showing up in September and waving the checkered flag.

Cunningham and the Fever reached the playoffs after finishing the regular season with a 28-16 record. The No. 6-seeded team faced the Las Vegas Aces in the first round and forced a deciding Game 3 on Oct. 1. However, they failed to dethrone the then-defending champions, losing 94-83 at Michelob ULTRA Arena. She experienced an up-and-down campaign but was able to showcase her grit and ability to knock down timely baskets.

Indiana Fever: Sophie Cunningham has now words for Matt Rife’s move

Cunningham posted a video of Rife making his way to the stage at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The comedian performed at the Fever’s home arena on Saturday and wore the veteran guard’s jersey. She added three emojis and tagged Rife on her Instagram story. He extended an invitation to the former Missouri star and Caitlin Clark to watch his show.

“@mattrife ,” Cunningham wrote.

Meanwhile, the 30-year-old is now an unrestricted free agent as her one-year deal with Indiana expired when the season ended. It’s unclear if she’ll return to the franchise, but it will depend on what it offers her this offseason. Analysts expect her to receive a lot of interest from teams around the league for her experience and skill set. However, many see her re-signing with the Fever for another run at a title, especially with the chemistry she has built with her teammates, including Clark and Aliyah Boston.
