Fever's Sophie Cunningham shows off head-turning outfit before WNBA game

Cunningham wore a black jacket over a black sheer outfit and heels and walked the Fever's carpet, which they had rolled out for the outfit checks before the game. She posed for a few pictures of herself and with teammate Lexie Hull.

Unfortunately, Cunningham put on sweats instead of a Fever jersey. She was ruled out of the game with an ankle injury.

The Fever acquired Cunningham in a trade with the Phoenix Mercury in the offseason. She averaged 8.4 points and 3.9 rebounds in 40 games. She shot 37.8% from 3-point range and 42.9% from the field in all.

She took the attention as a sign of the times as more interest has been paid to the WNBA since Caitlin Clark entered the league. Pregame "fit checks" have been one of the ways the league has captured attention on social media.
