Teammates don’t always stick to basketball talk. Sometimes, the laughs get onto social media. That’s exactly what happened when Sophie Cunningham posted a daring photo on Instagram this week, and Caitlin Clark couldn’t resist giving her opinion in it.

Brian Van Belle: “It’s a dream come true”

The Indiana Fever duo has built a playful bond since Cunningham arrived from Phoenix this offseason, from dropping shocking truth bombs to a habit of reacting on social media. On Monday, Cunningham posted a revealing photo in cowboy boots and a hat while leaning against a truck. Clark wasted no time dropping into the comments.

“Jeez Sophie,” Clark wrote. Then came the punchline: “Can’t like this.”

Cunningham didn’t let Clark have the last word. She replied with, “Wanna buy a truck? I can get you a good deal.” Clark answered again, calling her teammate a “super duper good bud.”

The exchange had Fever fans laughing, much like their earlier back-and-forth when Cunningham cracked jokes about Clark during a practice session. It’s become a running theme with the pair, adding to their growing off-court chemistry. And this isn’t the first time Clark has poked fun at her teammate online. Earlier this summer, she had some sharp words when Cunningham and Lexie Hull posted a bikini video together.

Cunningham captioned her latest post with a nod to her setback: “back when my knee was healthy.” She got an injury on her right knee on August 17 against the Connecticut Sun and has since been ruled out for the season. The injury ended what was shaping up to be a strong campaign, as she was shooting a career-best 43.2 percent from deep.

Clark hasn’t had much luck with injuries either. The guard has played just 13 of 37 games this season because of a groin issue and a recent ankle tweak. Those setbacks also kept her from suiting up at the All-Star Game in Indianapolis.

Even with both sidelined, their friendship has kept fans entertained. For now, Indiana sits at 19-18 in the Eastern Conference playoff race. Clark and Cunningham may be limited physically, but their online chemistry shows no signs of slowing down.
