WNBA star Sophie Cunningham leaves fans in awe at All-Star Game with on-court antics despite not even playing

WNBA star Sophie Cunningham left fans ecstatic at the All-Star Game, and she wasn’t even playing.

The Phoenix Mercury guard sat out the big game between the WNBA All-Stars and the U.S. Olympic team in Phoenix, Arizona.

And when cameras pointed at her during the game, she produced a moment that wowed the crowd, quickly drinking her margarita.

In fact, it was more of a sip than a drink, so Cunningham quickly put it away.

She couldn’t stop laughing as the crowd cheered her on.

And fellow WNBA player Crystal Dangerfield, with whom she was sitting, humorously wiped Cunningham’s face after she finished.

There was a carnival atmosphere at the game, which was won by the All-Star team.

The North American team is in final preparations for the Paris Olympics, which begin this week.

Cunningham was in her home arena to watch teammates Britney Griner, Kahleah Copper and Diana Taurasi prepare for Team USA.

The 27-year-old has been with Mercury for five years.

In a night of interesting stories, All-Star Caitlin Clark was full of class as she addressed her omission from the US Olympic team.

It was an extremely controversial moment when Clark was left out of the American women’s basketball team that will compete in Paris.

But when asked directly by one of the reporters covering the game whether the result offered her any sense of revenge, she replied: “No.”

And she highlighted that the All-Star team achieved victory before the last Tokyo Olympics.

“They’re really good. They have a lot of talent on this team,” Clark said.

“Four years earlier, I’m pretty sure the WNBA team beat Team USA and they were perfectly fine in the Olympics.

“It actually shows how good this league is. It shows how much talent there is in this league and how you have to show up and prepare every night.
