The 6-foot-1 was ruled out of the contest due to an ankle injury, which is the same issue that has kept her out of the Fever's previous two games.
Cunningham, however, still joined her team for their road game in Atlanta. In fact, she grabbed a lot of attention as she entered the arena ahead of the matchup. The WNBA could not help but notice how the 28-year-old struggled to follow teammate DeWanna Bonner after the latter struck a pose in her fashion-forward all-black ensemble.
"When the group chat didn't discuss a dress code. DeWanna Bonner pulled up looking runway ready, and Sophie Cunningham didn't know how to follow it up 🤣" the league posted on Instagram .

Cunningham, who sported a much more casual outfit compared to Bonner, was left in shock after seeing her teammate flex her outfit for the cameras as if she were on a fashion runway. Cunningham clearly didn't get the memo, but she was still able to make the most of his time in the spotlight by striking her own hilarious poses.
She then took to Instagram to react to the WNBA's message.
"caption on point," she wrote.

The WNBA noticed Cunningham's shocked reaction, and it also commented on how the Fever failed to coordinate their dress code for the game. Based on her response, it is clear that Cunningham agrees with the league's assessment completely.
Much like she has during past games, Cunningham has been relegated to a cheerleading role from the bench on Tuesday night. She will join Caitlin Clark on the sidelines as the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year also continues to nurse a quad injury.

Both Cunningham and Clark seem to be closing in on their return, though, and both players could be back on the court as soon as Indiana's next game. It will be a big one, too, as the Fever take on the defending champs, the New York Liberty , on Saturday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
