Sophie Cunningham might not be one of the best players in the WNBA in 2025, but she’s quickly become one of the most popular on social media.
The former University of Missouri guard, who spent the first six years of her career with the Phoenix Mercury, is now Caitlin Clark’s teammate in Indiana. That has been very good for her social media profile. Cunningham, who served as Clark’s “enforcer” in a game against the Connecticut Sun earlier this season, has blown up on social media.
Cunningham has more than 1.1 million followers on social media. She’s landed some impressive endorsements as a result of her following, too, including Ring and Adidas.
Over the weekend, Cunningham announced the latest endorsement deal. It’s a cool one.

Cunningham teamed up with fast food restaurant Arby’s for a cool endorsement deal.
“look who has the meats now #ArbysPartner,” she wrote on her Instagram page to her 1.1 million followers.
Congratulations are pouring in for Cunningham, who’s landed yet another national endorsement deal. It’s a cool opportunity for the former University of Missouri grad to grow her brand.
“Soooo good omg 😩😩😩,” one fan wrote.
“SHE HAS THE MEATS,” her teammate, Lexie Hull, joked on social media.
“Iconic 😂😍👏,” one fan added.
“Beautiful Sophie. Nice win ❤️,” one fan added.
“HS us would be so proud!!!! WE HAVE THE MEATSSS,” one fan added.
“That’s actually a really funny and fitting partnership,” another fan added.
“Better her get paid this way … cuz we know the WNBA ain’t cutting it,” another fan added.
“😂👏❤️Te amo Sofía!! 😂 you’re the best !” one fan added.

It’s cool to see that national brands are taking chances on WNBA players, especially considering that they’re making such little money in terms of contracts. Most WNBA players are making around $100,000 – if that. Clark’s rookie contract is for $70,000 per season.
Arby’s is likely playing up to work with Cunningham – and the brand is probably finding out that it is very much worth it.
Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.
The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.
The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”
However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.
It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.
Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”
This is the first time I’ve heard Brittney Griner speak! 🤨

WNBA Chooses Not To Investigate Brittney Griner

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.
The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.
Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.
This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
