WNBA player Sophie Cunningham laughs off pregame fit criticism, says viral ‘tan lines’ dress was mom-approved

Phoenix Mercury guard Sophie Cunningham is making a bold statement both on and off the court.

The Mercury clinched the team’s 14th playoff appearance in the last 16 seasons with a 74-66 win over the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday night, but Cunningham was already making headlines after one of her pregame fits went viral on social media last week. 

The veteran WNBA player turned heads with a "Love Island" inspired dress that revealed her summer tan lines before the Mercury’s matchup against the New York Liberty on Aug.
