Sophie Cunningham Says Caitlin Clark Holds Rare Control Over Fever's System

Her comments land as Indiana weighs re‑signing Kelsey Mitchell with free agency on hold pending CBA talks.

Overview

  • On her podcast this week, Sophie Cunningham called Clark a generational talent who can "control the whole system," agreeing with a LeBron James comparison raised by co-host West Wilson.
  • Cunningham described a constructive locker-room pairing between Clark and Kelsey Mitchell, framing their growth together as a competitive edge when both elevate each other.
  • Mitchell earned All-WNBA First Team honors after averaging a franchise-record 20.2 points per game in 2025, with coach Stephanie White saying she "carried" the Fever multiple times.
  • Cunningham, rehabbing an MCL injury, is an unrestricted free agent who says she will consider offers but hopes to remain in Indiana.
  • Team-building remains uncertain as GM Amber Cox has prioritized re-signing Mitchell, league free agency is paused until a new CBA is finalized, and reporting highlights a need to address the power forward spot, with options discussed as possibilities rather than set plans.
