The Phoenix Mercury won Sunday’s intense game against the Los Angeles Sparks with a score of 87-68. Sophie Cunningham, a guard for the Mercury, finished the game with 10 points, four assists, and five rebounds in her 32 minutes of play. Although Cunningham’s on-court performance wasn’t particularly impressive, her pre-game style definitely made waves.

The 27-year-old guard stunned everyone with her black dress that barely covered her skin. Her photoshoot in that dress went viral, as did a video of her walking in it. Fans had various reactions, with one writing, “Every day it’s a new WNBA baddie on the TL,” while another asked, “So I don’t follow much. But is Sophie the face of the franchise? She the best player on the team?” Another fan commented, “My god, she can hit the 3s.”

Sophie Cunningham nailed an amazing 3-pointer at the end of the first quarter

At the end of the first quarter, the Mercury were leading 16-7. Sophie Cunningham and Kaleah Copper, the Mercury forward, made three-pointers that significantly boosted the score. Meanwhile, Cameron Brink struggled once again in the loss for the Los Angeles Sparks. Despite getting into foul trouble, Brink was only able to score six points and grab four rebounds. This low output marked her third consecutive performance with fewer than ten points.

Recently, Cunningham once again captured social media’s attention when a photo shared by the official Mercury account on X (formerly known as Twitter) went viral. In the photo, she was wearing a white top that exposed much of her body parts, paired with black cargo pants and brown heels.

On Thursday, President Joe Biden announced that he had reached an agreement with Russian officials to bring Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner back to the United States.

Griner was arrested at the Sheremetyevo International Airport in Moscow on Feb. 17 for possessing less than a gram of hashish oil, as the substance is illegal in Russia.

Griner was convicted and sentenced to nine years in prison back in August, but Biden was able to bring her back in a prison swap, with arms dealer and weapons smuggler Viktor Bout getting sent back to Russia.

According to Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs Roger Carstens Griner was very social to the flight crew on her way home, taking the time to introduce herself to each of the members.

“I’ve been in prison for 10 months, listening to the Russians. I want to talk,” Griner stated, Carsten claimed during an interview with CNN (h/t) ESPN. “But first of all, who are these guys?”

Carstens then described how Griner approached the crew members:
