Sophie Cunningham is rehabbing to get back on the court.

Sophie Cunningham is rehabbing a season-ending torn MCL that she suffered during the 2025 season.

Cunningham has become one of the most entertaining players in the league, starting with her pregame outfits. She reached a new level of fame when she attacked a Connecticut Sun player to protect Caitlin Clark. Cunningham committed a flagrant foul on guard Jacy Sheldon, earning her a one-game suspension.

The major injury she suffered cut short her first season with the Fever. Cunningham was limited to 30 games this season, averaging 8.6 points and 3.5 rebounds. She improved her efficiency from the floor. Cunningham shot career-highs of 46.9% from the field and 43.2% from three-point range.

She has been using the offseason to rehab so she is ready for the 2026 season. That led her to post her latest update on Instagram this week. Her first video featured her flexing her legs on a Peak Pilates Casita or Fit reformer machine.

A second video showed Sophie Cunningham’s legs spread wide as she stretched them on the same machine while lying down.

Where will Sophie Cunningham play basketball in 2026? Cunningham watched as the Indiana Fever produced one of the more surprising runs of the 2025 WNBA playoffs. They pushed the eventual champion Las Vegas Aces to a decisive Game 5 in the semifinals despite multiple key players being sidelined by injury. That included Cunningham, Caitlin Clark, Aari McDonald, and Sydney Colson.

The Fever acquired Cunningham from the Phoenix Mercury in a multi-team offseason trade. In her first season in Indiana, Cunningham became a key part of the rotation. Unfortunately, she was unable to play in the postseason after undergoing surgery to repair a torn MCL in her right knee.

Following the season, Cunningham saw her one-year, $100,000 contract expire. She is now an unrestricted free agent. ESPN’s Kevin Pelton predicted that the Fever would choose Makayla Timpson over Cunningham.

While she waits for a new deal, Cunningham continues to make strides off the court in her rehab.

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.
