- Sophie Cunningham Reveals Funny Confessions About Taking Items from Fever Locker Room
Sophie Cunningham had an eventful offseason. After doubts about her future with the Indiana Fever heading into the offseason, the free agent guard agreed to a one-year contract worth $665,000 .
Cunningham previously said she had planned to test the market, but it is clear her preference was to remain in Indianapolis.

Cunningham averaged 8.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1 steals and 1.7 3-pointers in 25.2 minutes per contest. Unfortunately, the 6-foot-1 guard's season was cut short after 30 games. Cunningham underwent season-ending knee surgery in August and has made a full recovery.

In a recent interview, Cunningham admitted she was hoping to sign a longer deal than the one-year contract she agreed to with the Fever. The 29-year-old expressed her desire to remain in Indiana for the long run.

There is no denying Cunningham has grown comfortable with the Fever. In fact, based on her recent admission, she might have grown a little too comfortable.
In a promo video posted by the team on Monday, Cunningham was asked if she's ever taken anything from the Fever locker room. The former Missouri Tigers star did not hesitate to admit to her actions.
"I've taken a lot from the locker room," she said . "Mainly, it's like food and beverage. But I did run out of shampoo one time, and so I took shampoo. I definitely took body wash. I think there was like some candles that no one was claiming, so I did that as well.

"There's some really nice face lotion that also no one was claiming. They said take one. I took five."
Cunningham will have more opportunities to take advantage of team freebies this coming season.
In all seriousness, though, the veteran serves as a leader inside the locker room for this relatively young squad. She is expected to reprise this pivotal role this coming season.
