Caitlin Clark Playfully Teases Her Stylish and Glamorous Teammate Sophie Cunningham About Her Fashionable Appearance During Games, as Cunningham Continues to Sit Out Due to Injury and Remains a Sidelined Presence, Entertaining Fans With Her Outfits and Interactions With Clark and the Rest of the Team

Caitlin Clark trolled her glamorous Indiana Fever teammate Sophie Cunningham on Friday night, hours after being ruled out of another game.

The Fever announced their star player would once again be missing for Saturday’s home game against the Los Angeles Sparks due to a lingering left groin injury.

But Clark was clearly not too distraught as she took to social media to jokingly mock Cunningham, who has emerged as the Fever’s on-court enforcer in the early stages of this WNBA season.

The Fever posted some pictures from the workout earlier in the day, one of which showed Cunningham’s hair bouncing up and down as she ran around the court.

The picture captured her hair in a bizarre position, leading Clark to reply ‘love this hairstyle’ while tagging her teammate.

On Saturday, Clark will sit out for a fifth straight game and miss her 10th game of the season, including Tuesday’s Commissioner’s Cup final when Indiana toppled the league-leading Minnesota Lynx 74-59.

The Cup final does not count toward the regular-season standings, but nonetheless, the Fever have won three straight games during Clark’s absence.

Indiana coach Stephanie White said at the time of Clark’s injury that it was ‘very much a day-to-day thing.’

After Saturday, the Fever are off again until a home date with the Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday.

Clark, 23, sat out five games due to a left quad injury before returning to action against the New York Liberty on June 14.

The second-year guard is averaging 18.2 points, 8.9 assists and 5.0 rebounds in nine games this season for Indiana

Clark won Rookie of the Year honors and made the All-Star and All-WNBA teams in 2024-25 following a record-setting career at Iowa.
