New Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham is looking forward to the transition of playing alongside one of the greatest WNBA players of all time, Diana Taurasi, to calling second-year phenom Caitlin Clark a teammate.
Cunningham told Yahoo Sports' Caroline Fenton that she's excited for the opportunity to mentor and win with Clark, whom she's nicknamed "Baby GOAT."
"I want to have a lot of fun with her," Cunningham said. "I want to win a lot of ball games. I want to win championships with her, but I also want to make sure she's good off the court as well, and so I'm hoping that she leans on me if she wants it. And I think that's why I'm so excited, is because I have been blessed to see what it looks like under the GOAT, and now you're going to the Baby GOAT."
The 28-year-old Cunningham was traded to the Fever in late January after spending the last six seasons with Taurasi and the Phoenix Mercury. Taurasi, the WNBA's all-time leading scorer, announced her retirement last month.
The Fever will open the 2025 WNBA campaign on May 17 at home against the Chicago Sky.
