Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham gave back to children, and she brought plenty of fun along with her.
The 29-year-old fan favorite brought the Sophie Cunningham Basketball ProCamp to Carmel, Indiana. She welcomed more than 300 girls and boys to the Aletto Family Sports Center on Sunday.
Fresh off a Fever back-to-back, Cunningham spent four hours on the floor leading drills. She also competed in 5-on-5 scrimmages and one-on-one challenges against select campers.
Indiana rolled past the New York Liberty 108-88 just 24 hours earlier. Cunningham posted 11 points, four rebounds and two blocks in the win.
For the kids who looked up to her, the camp was a reminder that their favorite players see them too.
Sophie Cunningham Had No Interest in Going Easy on the Kids
Cunningham set the tone before the camp even started. Speaking to the press beforehand, she joked about keeping her competitive instincts in check.
“So I’m going to try not to block a little kid today,” she said.
She broke that promise almost immediately. A clip shared on X showed the Fever enforcer mercilessly rejecting shot after shot at the camp.
One young girl did manage to drain a shot over Cunningham’s outstretched arms. Cunningham playfully extended a high five, then yanked it back at the last second, drawing laughs from everyone watching.
On the court for Indiana, Cunningham has been everything the Fever need off the bench. She is averaging 9.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 25 games. Indiana has gone 16-10 with her as a key piece of the second unit.
The basketball is just part of it. When Cunningham shows up for 300 kids on her day off, that says everything about who she is.
