Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark recently put her sharp sense of humor on display, playfully ribbing her new teammate Sophie Cunningham on social media. Cunningham, who recently moved from the Phoenix Mercury to the Fever, shared a few photos in her fresh Indiana jersey, captioning the post, “A fresh of breath air.” The phrase, a playful twist on the classic “a breath of fresh air,” quickly caught the attention of fans, sparking a wave of friendly banter.
Clark, known for her quick wit both on and off the court, couldn’t resist adding her own commentary. She responded, “Not only did you double down … you triple down that this was the correct saying.” The Fever’s official Instagram account joined in the fun, dropping a fire emoji to underscore the growing camaraderie within the team.
Cunningham, known for her fearless, aggressive style of play, is already making a significant impact in Indiana. In her preseason debut, she racked up 21 points, eight rebounds, and two assists, proving her value as a versatile forward. Her intense approach has made her a standout, even drawing some heated exchanges with opponents like the Washington Mystics. Head coach Stephanie White has praised her competitive spirit, calling her a “dawg” and a relentless force on the court.
Meanwhile, Clark, who had been sidelined with a minor leg issue, returned to action with a standout performance, scoring 16 points in front of a sold-out crowd in her next game. As one of the most promising young stars in the WNBA, Clark’s return is a significant boost for the Fever’s offense.
With both players bringing intense energy and a playful off-court dynamic, the Fever’s roster is shaping up to be one of the most exciting to watch this season. This early show of chemistry, both on the court and online, sets a promising tone for what could be a standout year for Indiana basketball.
