Caitlin Clark's witty reaction to Sophie Cunningham's popular seductive post becomes a social media sensation
Indiana Fever's star player, Sophie Cunningham, posted a thirst trap on Instagram on Monday, August 25, 2025. The post, which showcased Cunningham wearing a black fringe coat, a matching black cowboy hat, and boots in a truck on the passenger's side, has since gone viral, garnering thousands of likes.
Cunningham's teammate, Caitlin Clark, couldn't help but comment on the post, saying "Jeez, Sophie." This isn't the first time Clark has commented on one of Cunningham's posts. Clark's injury-riddled season has kept her off the court since July 15, 2025, when she suffered groin and ankle ailments.
Clark, who was responding to Cunningham's post, commented, "Can't like this" post. She also commented earlier, especially since it was on a game day, saying, "Swimsuit brands, plz comment 'focus on basketball.'" Clark's comments have also gone viral, each garnering over 8,000 likes.
Cunningham, in her usual witty manner, responded to Clark's comments by writing, "Convince us there's a swimsuit brand that wants to partner with two Indiana Fever mermaids." This light-hearted exchange between the two teammates is a testament to their camaraderie, even in the midst of a challenging season.
The Fever have had a tough season, with both Cunningham and Clark's first season as teammates ending prematurely on August 17, 2025. Cunningham suffered a torn MCL during a game against the Connecticut Sun, an incident that also marked the Fever's game against the Sun on August 17, 2025.
Despite the setbacks, the Fever have managed to maintain a record of 19-18, good for third place in the Eastern Conference, with seven games left in the regular season. Cunningham had to step up in Clark's absence, with the team now down both of its top stars.
On Wednesday, August 6, 2025, Cunningham posted a video with another Fever star, Lexie Hull, sitting poolside before a game. The video served as a reminder of the team's resilience and determination, even in the face of adversity.
As the season winds down, fans are hopeful that Clark will be able to get back on the court soon. The Fever will need all hands on deck as they strive to make a strong finish in the remaining games of the regular season.
