Overview

• Sophie Cunningham posted a TikTok video on August 6 showing her and Lexie Hull poolside in bikinis while soliciting swimsuit brand partnerships ahead of a game in Los Angeles.
• Clark, sidelined with a groin injury since July, commented “Swimsuit brands plz comment ‘focus on basketball’” to nudge her teammates back toward on-court priorities.
• Cunningham fired back in a now-deleted reply suggesting a full-body wetsuit for Clark’s pale complexion, underscoring the trio’s lighthearted rapport.
• The three first-year teammates have publicly ribbed each other this season and adopted the nickname “Tres Leches” to reflect their camaraderie.
• Clark’s ongoing absence has intensified the Fever’s on-court challenges and drawn attention to how the team balances performance needs with off-court promotion.
