With the WNBA taking a month-long break for the Olympics, players like Sophie Cunningham find themselves with plenty of free time.
Many, including Cunningham, have seized this opportunity to relax and unwind.
The Phoenix Mercury guard, who faced some controversy earlier this year with accusations of being “MAGA,” is now capturing attention for different reasons—soaking up the sun and thrilling her social media followers.
On Friday night, the 6-foot-1 Cunningham posted a stunning photo on X/Twitter of herself on a boat. In the picture, she’s rocking a two-piece swimsuit, with the camera capturing her from behind as she enjoys the picturesque setting.
“Lookin for a boat boy,” Cunningham captioned the photo, sparking a flurry of responses from her fans.
“I own the most expensive and most awesome boat in the world, many have said so!” one person commented.
“I got a yacht,” another added enthusiastically.
“I have been thirst trapped,” joked a third fan.
“My dad has a boat that he’ll let me borrow,” chimed in another follower.
