Highlights from Sophie Cunningham's USA Network WNBA contributor debut

[ASFN Admin]

While Indiana (9-5) enjoyed its brief one-day hiatus before its Thursday night clash against the Atlanta Dream (9-4), fan favorite guard Sophie Cunningham made her debut as a contributor on USA Network's WNBA coverage on Wednesday, where the energetic Fever star offered numerous interesting takes that drew quite a bit of social media reaction.

Interestingly, Cunningham is the third member of the Fever team to enter the sports media field, as teammates Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark have both served in similar roles during the offseason for NBC's coverage of women's college basketball and the NBA.

As the always positive and outgoing former Missouri Tiger star made her TV debut, here are some of the most notable reactions to her appearance on Wednesday night:

"When you have money involved, $30k before taxes, because we won it last year and it's not $30k- so let me put that out there."
