Caitlin Clark didn’t need a great play or a flashy dress to stand out this weekend. All it took was seven simple words.
Sophie Cunningham showed up in style before Indiana Fever’s latest game, rocking a head-turning look to celebrate crossing one million followers on TikTok and Instagram.
But while her outfit made waves online, it was Clark’s dry, perfectly-timed comment that had fans talking.
“Some of my flics made it huge,” Clark said, reacting to Cunningham’s viral pregame post.

Cunningham, who joined the Fever from Phoenix this season, has quickly become more than just a solid veteran. She’s turned into one of the team’s key voices, on and off the court. Whether it’s backing Clark after a hard foul or jawing with opponents, Cunningham’s presence has been loud and clear.
Last week, she got into it with several Connecticut Sun players after Clark took a hit to the face and fell hard to the floor. The referees didn’t offer much help, but Cunningham made sure her teammate knew she had her back.
Off the court, though, Cunningham is thriving just as much. Hitting one million followers on two major platforms in a matter of weeks is no small feat, especially in a league where visibility still has room to grow. She posted a photo in a sleek all-black look before the game, captioning it with, “what’s with all the commotion lately?”
That’s when Clark chimed in quick, subtle, and just enough to get social media buzzing.
The pairing of Cunningham and Clark has quickly turned into one of the WNBA’s more talked-about duos. One leads with flashy deep threes and no-look passes. The other brings grit, edge, and now, social media star power.
If the Fever can string together a winning run and grab a solid playoff spot, expect this team and this friendship to get even more attention. For now, Clark’s comment reminded everyone just how sharp her off-court game is, too.
