- Fever Star Sophie Cunningham Gives Fans Eye-Catching Update on Her Recovery
Indiana Fever
star Sophie Cunningham
grabbed headlines on Tuesday with her latest social media post. The 6-foot-1 guard posted a video of herself dancing in a bikini
while wearing a brace for her surgically repaired right knee.
As it turns out, there was a very good reason why Cunningham was in a tiny swimsuit. The former Missouri star took to Instagram to share another photo along with an update on her injury recovery process.
"you are looking at where I'm making our trainers do rehab with me today hahahah," Cunningham captioned her poolside photo.
Apart from the fact that Cunningham provided an update on her road to recovery, which on Tuesday involves some work in the pool, the more eye-catching highlight of the post is the 29-year-old showcasing her long legs. The knee brace is off, too, which likely means she's going to take a dip soon, if she hasn't already — for her rehab, of course.
There has been no substantial update about Cunningham's timetable. At this point, it is unclear when the Fever guard will be able to return to the lineup. Depending on how her knee responds to rehabilitation, it's possible that her recovery may extend into next season.

Obviously, Cunningham will not be able to take the court on Tuesday night when the Fever take on the Phoenix Mercury
in a road game at PHX Arena. Cunningham will miss the opportunity to face off against her former team, where she spent the first six years of her career before making the move to Indiana in the offseason via a multi-team trade deal.
In 30 games played in her first season with the Fever, Cunningham produced averages of 8.6 points
, 3.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.7 triples per contest.
