Sophie Cunningham has some explaining to do.

With the WNBA season around the corner, the Indiana Fever wanted to ensure the fan base knew about the new players on the squad.

On Friday, the Fever’s Instagram account posted about their new star player and things they do in their personal life aside from playing basketball professionally.

With the Fever getting set to play on Saturday to open their season, it was time to get to everybody.

“Get to know Sophie Cunningham 🍝🤠🍅,” the Indiana Fever’s account said while laying out some facts.

Among the things were her birthday, her favorite actor, her favorite TV series, emoji, condiment, and other things.

One of those other things was Cunningham informing fans that she likes to eat spaghetti with ranch on it.

Cunningham joined the Indiana Fever as part of a four-team trade in the offseason, having previously played for the Phoenix Mercury.

The Fever will begin the regular season with a game against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky on May 17.

The 28-year-old, who is heading into her seventh season in the league, averaged 8.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.0 assists while shooting 37.8% from beyond the arc.

“Ranch on spaghetti is getting sent to prison worthy, but we don’t want that 😂,” a fourth fan wrote.

“Ranch on spaghetti – so Midwest. 😂,” a fifth fan commented.

If it helps the Fever reach the ultimate goal, then fans will let her have it without a problem.

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.
