Congratulations Pouring In For Sophie Cunningham Monday, 'So Cool'
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.

Seattle Storm guard Skylar Diggins records quickest triple-double in WNBA history
After recording the first triple-double in WNBA All-Star Game history on July 19, Seattle Storm guard Skylar Diggins made more history on Monday. She became the second player in Storm history to record a triple-double -- and she did it in three quarters. Diggins's two free throws at the end of the third quarter gave her 11 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists in 22:51 of action, the lowest minute total for a triple-double in WNBA history. Temeka Johnson recorded the Storm's other triple-double with 13 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in an overtime loss to the New York Liberty in 2014. Diggins is the fourth player in the league to amass a triple-double this season. Diggins did not play in the fourth quarter as the Storm defeated the Connecticut Sun 101-85. Seattle had led by as many as 32. Diggins' triple-double the 46th in WNBA history. Alyssa Thomas has 16, the most in WNBA history. Only eight players have multiple triple-doubles in their careers.
