Teammates don’t always stick to basketball talk. Sometimes, the laughs get onto social media. That’s exactly what happened when Sophie Cunningham posted a daring photo on Instagram this week, and Caitlin Clark couldn’t resist giving her opinion in it.

The Indiana Fever duo has built a playful bond since Cunningham arrived from Phoenix this offseason, from dropping shocking truth bombs to a habit of reacting on social media. On Monday, Cunningham posted a revealing photo in cowboy boots and a hat while leaning against a truck. Clark wasted no time dropping into the comments.

“Jeez Sophie,” Clark wrote. Then came the punchline: “Can’t like this.”

Cunningham didn’t let Clark have the last word. She replied with, “Wanna buy a truck? I can get you a good deal.” Clark answered again, calling her teammate a “super duper good bud.”

The exchange had Fever fans laughing, much like their earlier back-and-forth when Cunningham cracked jokes about Clark during a practice session. It’s become a running theme with the pair, adding to their growing off-court chemistry. And this isn’t the first time Clark has poked fun at her teammate online. Earlier this summer, she had some sharp words when Cunningham and Lexie Hull posted a bikini video together.

Cunningham captioned her latest post with a nod to her setback: “back when my knee was healthy.” She got an injury on her right knee on August 17 against the Connecticut Sun and has since been ruled out for the season. The injury ended what was shaping up to be a strong campaign, as she was shooting a career-best 43.2 percent from deep.

Clark hasn’t had much luck with injuries either. The guard has played just 13 of 37 games this season because of a groin issue and a recent ankle tweak. Those setbacks also kept her from suiting up at the All-Star Game in Indianapolis.

Even with both sidelined, their friendship has kept fans entertained. For now, Indiana sits at 19-18 in the Eastern Conference playoff race. Clark and Cunningham may be limited physically, but their online chemistry shows no signs of slowing down.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
