Fever's Sophie Cunningham predicts new venture will get her canceled
Now, Cunningham plans on letting her fans get a closer look at her life.
Cunningham is starting a podcast with Summer House TV star West Wilson. According to People, the pair have known each other since they grew up together in Columbia, Missouri.
The podcast will be called Show Me Something.
Wilson thinks the duo is getting into this at the perfect time: "There's no better time to hop into the WNBA than right now," he told People.
The pair plans to talk about a little bit of everything.
"We're definitely going to hit on the WNBA, a huge topic in sports right now, and then Bravo, clearly, but pop culture, food, fashion, travel, let's spread this thing wide open because we really do talk about anything," Cunningham said.
Cunningham predicted that she might "get canceled real fast."
That's because she doesn't plan on holding back.
"We're lighthearted, and sometimes our love language is, like, s--- talking," Cunningham said. "It'll be cool that people can see our humor, what we're actually like and, it's coming from us and not from other people perceiving or portraying what they think we are."
This is Cunningham's seventh season in the WNBA after starring at Missouri. She'll join the growing ranks of basketball players with podcasts.
Cunningham played with Phoenix for six seasons before joining Indiana this season. She has averaged 7.5 points per game for the Fever, and now she'll get to show off her talking skills, too.

Sophie Cunningham Reveals What Caitlin Clark Told Her After Jacy Sheldon Foul
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. It's been quite the interesting year for Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham. The 28-year-old Missouri alum as traded along with Jaelyn Brown to Indiana from the Phoenix Mercury on Jan. 31 in a four-team deal that sent NaLyssa Smith to the Dallas Wings and the No. 8 overall pick in the 2025 draft to the Connecticut Sun, who took NC State guard Saniya Rivers. She's missed five games this season with an ankle injury that she initially suffered during the preseason, and in May she was named accused of having an affair with Phoenix Suns and Mercury CEO Josh Bartelstein during her time with the team — an accusation she's since vehemently denied. But the incident Cunningham will likely be remembered for most this year came back on June 17 during an 88-71 victory over the Connecticut Sun. In that game, Cunningham was ejected in the final minute after grabbing Sun guard Jacy Sheldon by the head in the paint and flinging her out of bounds. The incident came not long after Sheldon was hit with a flagrant foul for poking Fever star Caitlin Clark in the eye during the third quarter.

During the debut episode of her new podcast "Show Me Something," which she hosts with Bravo star West Wilson, Cunningham revealed Clark's reaction to her teammate taking a stand for her. "I was [sticking up for Clark]," Cunningham stated. "But in the locker room she goes, I think she was like, 'Finally! Finally someone else [stands up for me].' I was like, 'Dude I got you.' But I think that kind of had our team come together as a whole, and it really was (awesome). I feel like everyone was like, 'We do have to protect each other.'" 'In the locker room she goes…..

"I went from 200,000 on TikTok before the fight, and then I had like 350,000 on Instagram — over the night, over a million on both," Cunningham stated. "... I've worked my whole life to become a WNBA basketball player, and now people know me as WWE. Doesn't that mean that being my natural, feisty, sassy self would put me where God wanted me."

In a tilt with surprise playoff implications, Mystics' rally falls short
Both Sydney Johnson and Natalie Nakase scoff at the mere mention of the word, even though it looms over the WNBA season as the calendar flips to August. That word is 'playoffs.' And for the Washington Mystics and Golden State Valkyries, a pair of teams that have outperformed expectations, the potential for postseason play gave Thursday night's game at CareFirst Arena a heightened importance.

Kate Martin and Veronica Burton help the Valkyries hold off the Mystics 68-67
WASHINGTON (AP) — Kate Martin scored 14 points, Veronica Burton had 10 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds, and the Golden State Valkyries held off the Washington Mystics 68-67 on Thursday night. Temi Fagbenle put Golden State ahead 66-65 with 5:34 remaining in the fourth quarter, but the Valkyries didn't make their next field goal until Janelle Salaun's layup with a minute left to cap the scoring. After a missed 3-pointer by the Mystics with 37 seconds left, the Valkyries worked the clock down before calling a timeout with 3 seconds left on the shot clock. Salaun missed a shot in the lane and Golden State grabbed the offensive rebound before turning it over to give the Mystics another chance. Brittney Sykes' floater in the lane bounced off the rim as time expired. Sonia Citron, coming off a career-high 28 points on Tuesday against Chicago, scored 16 points for Washington (13-14). Shakira Austin and Kiki Iriafen each added 10 points. Iliana Rupert scored all 11 of her points in the first half and Fagbenle finished with 10 for Golden State (13-13). Tiffany Hayes became the 42nd player in WNBA history to play 10,000 minutes. Golden State made 10 of 14 field goals in the first quarter, including 5 of 8 from 3-point range, to take a 30-20 lead. The Valkyries scored 38 points the rest of the way. Washington went on a 14-2 run spanning halftime to get within 46-41 on Sykes' 3-pointer from the top of the key. The Mystics took their first lead with 7:20 left on Emily Engstler's 3-pointer from the corner. ___ AP WNBA:
