Sophie Cunningham’s controversial comments on transgender athletes have refused to leave the WNBA spotlight. Now, just weeks after her headline-making interview, the Indiana Fever guard has made another off-court move that has fans talking.
WNBA World Reacts As Sophie Cunningham Reportedly Shops Tell-All Book
According to a Page Six report, the Indiana Fever guard is reportedly shopping a “tell-all book” to publishers, pitching a proposal in hopes of landing a deal.
The timing couldn’t be more loaded, as just weeks ago, Cunningham stirred national debate by speaking up about her stance against trans athletes in women’s sports.
Cunningham has drawn support from high-profile figures such as Stephen A. Smith, Riley Gaines, XX-XY founder Jennifer Sey, and several Republican politicians. But the backlash has been just as loud, and that tension is fueling speculation about her motives.
One user predicted that Cunningham’s stance could make her future with Indiana uncertain. However, there has been no official indication that the Fever have decided against re-signing her.
“She knows she not getting another contract,” they wrote on X.

Cunningham is currently averaging 8.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game this season. Some fans are reading these stats as a sign that she’s winding down and is using this stretch of attention to set herself up for life after basketball.
“She’s gearing up to ‘retire.’ This is why she acts out, grifts, and sets her colleagues up for harassment They already saying Indy can’t pay her next season and there’s way too much talent in the league to keep her 3,2,1 stat-lines and repulsive attitude,” wrote another user.

One joked that Cunningham was looking to maximize her off-court earnings and return to the Fever on a minimum contract next year.
“Getting as much money as possible so she can come back to Indy on a minimum in 2027,” they said.

While most users took the opportunity to mock Cunningham, one fan took a completely different approach. Instead of criticizing the Fever guard, they expressed genuine excitement about the potential book.
“Lmao can’t wait to read it,” the user wrote.

Cunningham has become one of the most talked-about figures in the league this season, on and off the court. It will be interesting to see if and when her slated book hits the shelves.
