Sophie Cunningham has been making waves this summer, not just on the basketball court but across NASCAR tracks, social media platforms, and podcasts. Recently, a birthday boat photo from her 30th celebration at Lake of the Ozarks has sparked a fresh wave of speculation about her personal life, captivating fans far beyond her athletic achievements.
In the photo, Cunningham is seen with her arms around a shirtless Frank Adams, prompting widespread online chatter suggesting that the Indiana Fever guard might be dating. Neither Cunningham nor Adams have publicly addressed the rumors, but social media users have eagerly interpreted the shared moments as subtle hints of a relationship.
For months, observant fans have noticed the pair appearing together at various events, including Grand Canyon University basketball games. Some even recall seeing Adams accompany Cunningham during an autograph session at an Adidas event in Portland last summer. Interestingly, Adams was in Adidas gear despite GCU’s affiliation with Nike, standing discreetly in the background as Cunningham engaged with fans eager to grab her exclusive Adidas Crazy Energy sneakers.
Adams’ background ties closely to Cunningham’s basketball journey. He spent six years as an assistant athletic trainer with the Phoenix Suns, overlapping with Cunningham’s tenure at the Phoenix Mercury from 2019 to 2024 before her move to Indiana.
Currently, Adams serves as the head athletic trainer for Grand Canyon University basketball and played college basketball at Young Harris College from 2010 to 2013. During that period, Cunningham was still playing high school basketball at Rock Bridge High School before moving on to Missouri.
Amid the swirling rumors, Cunningham remains focused on her strong performance this season with the Fever. Serving as a vital floor spacer alongside stars like Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark, she’s averaging 8.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game over 39 contests.
Her shooting has been particularly impressive, hitting 43.4 percent from three-point range, ranking 15th among the league’s top shooters with an average of 1.6 made threes per game. She stands as Indiana’s fourth-leading scorer behind Mitchell, Clark, and Aliyah Boston.
With just four regular-season games left before the playoff picture is finalized, Cunningham’s future remains uncertain both professionally and personally. Currently signed to a one-year, $665,000 contract, she will become a free agent at season’s end, making her next move in the WNBA as much a topic of speculation as her off-court life.
