Sophie Cunningham's Dancing Dream: WNBA Star's Ballroom Ambitions
9 Nov
Summary
- Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham aspires to join 'Dancing With the Stars'.
- WNBA commitments have consistently prevented her from participating.
- Cunningham's contract with the Indiana Fever has expired.
Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham has revealed her persistent desire to compete on "Dancing With the Stars." She shared on her "No Hesitation" podcast that the show's timing, which coincides with the latter stages of the WNBA season and potential playoffs, has been the primary obstacle. Cunningham expressed hope for a future opportunity to join the competition.
During a recent visit to the show, Cunningham met professional dancer Daniella Karagach, who expressed admiration and humorously invited Cunningham to be her partner. The 6-foot-1 guard could offer a unique dynamic on the dance floor, though the exchange was informal.
Cunningham's basketball future is also in flux, as her contract with the Indiana Fever expired after the 2026 season. She is now eligible for unrestricted free agency. She averaged 7.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.2 assists last season.
Beyond basketball, Cunningham has been expanding her brand through partnerships and the "No Hesitation" podcast. She has also committed to Project B, an international basketball league set to launch in January, indicating a growing interest in business ventures.
