Sophie Cunningham has established herself as a household name among Indiana Fever supporters this season. Apart from what she brings to the table for Indiana, the 6-foot-1 guard's popularity received a massive boost after she got ejected from the Fever's win against the Connecticut Sun on June 17.

Cunningham was tossed from the game after being called for a Flagrant foul 2 on Sun guard Jacy Sheldon late in the fourth quarter. This occurred after Sheldon was involved in an incident with Caitlin Clark earlier in the game, in which the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year was poked in the eye and then pushed to the ground.
Fans believed that Cunningham was acting in retaliation for Clark, which had them praising the Fever veteran for her actions.
On Sunday, Cunningham took to Instagram to share a couple of snaps of her wearing Damian Lillard's latest signature shoe with Adidas. Cunningham, who, according to her own Instagram profile, is an "Adidas athlete," is part of the sportswear brand's marketing push for the new Dame X kicks.

The Fever are a tight-knit group, and they go out to support each other both on and off the basketball court. These relationships will be pivotal as this team looks to challenge for the title this season.
Cunningham is no superstar, but there's no denying that she will play a crucial role in whatever success the Fever achieve this year.
