WNBA playoffs started in Las Vegas with the Indiana Fever facing the Las Vegas Aces in Game 1, and Sophie Cunningham couldn’t spark a win. The Fever fell 102-85, a tough opening to their postseason run. Ahead of the game, Cunningham was seen wearing a long leopard-print coat and leopard-print shorts, a look that drew immediate online backlash. Some fans criticized her focus on fashion over basketball, with comments calling for players to “do modeling” instead. Others pushed back, praising her confidence and “fearless energy.” Despite the loss, Cunningham still posted a strong 2026 regular season, averaging 7.9 points and 1.2 assists, with 46% shooting and 41.9% from three.
