Sophie Cunningham stunned her fans with a racy Instagram post, leaving the social media platform ablaze.
The post comes amid a nasty injury which has put Cunningham on the shelf for the rest of the WNBA season.
The Indiana Fever star came out second best in a collision with Connecticut Sun’s Bria Hartley. Cunningham was left with an MCL tear in her right knee.
Some WNBA fans initially questioned Hartley’s intentions, though Cunningham was quick to rebut any claims of ill-intent.
Speaking on her ‘Show Me Something’ podcast, she said: “I know Bria and I’m actually really good friends with Bria.
“And I’ve been waiting to get on the pod and talk about this, because I did want to tweet there was no ill intent.
“I think it was a basketball play. I was in the wrong spot at the wrong time. She fell.
“There’s no way she’d go in there and try to hurt. I’ve got nothing but love for Bria.
“I even, like, told my mom because she tweeted something.
“‘No, Mom, like I get, but I promise you Bria and I are super cool and she’d never try to hurt me.'”
Cunningham has been open and positive about her rehab process. The Fever star has done ice routines, used her knee brace, and shared upbeat updates on her ‘Show Me Something’ podcast.
The 29-year-old is not the only high-profile star nursing an injury. Caitlin Clark, Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald are also on the sidelines.
With Fever struggling on the injury front, they have recently recruited guard Shey Peddy to help boost numbers.
Cunningham puts cheeks on show
Despite the disappointing injury setback, Cunningham shocked fans on Tuesday with a striking Instagram post.
In the photo, the 29-year-old can be seen wearing black cowboy boots and hat, with a black leather jacket. She also has black underwear, which don’t leave much to imagination.

Writing in the caption, Cunningham said: “Back when my knee was healthy.”
Cunningham’s brave post even stunned Fever teammate and fellow WNBA superstar, Caitlin Clark.
The injured player commented: “Jeez, Sophie.” She later added: “Can’t like this.”
