Cunningham signed a one-year, $665,000 contract to say in Indiana for another season.
This is the first year of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement between the players and league and that has led to a bump in pay for WNBA players.
Despite that, Cunningham wasnât totally thrilled with her deal because she wanted more than one year. She is happy with the money, though.
âIâm gonna shut this down right now. Iâm not mad about the moneyâŠ. I just wanted more years because I love it here,â Cunningham wrote on X.
âI wanted to get a house so I could bring my dog and donkey to Indy with me. Thatâs it. Thatâs the truth. I think we have something very special here in Indiana,â she added.

But that all changed overnight when Cunningham defended Clark in a big way during a game last season.
That was the infamous contest against the Connecticut Sun, when Clark got poked in the eye and then intentionally bumped to the ground by a Sun player.
Cunningham stepped up for her teammate, though, and committed a hard foul on one of the offenders who fouled Clark.
She instantly drew a ton of fans for herself and her social media numbers blew up almost instantly.
Cunningham has also been outspoken about how the league has failed to protect Clark, and she has been frustrated with the clear resentment players feel toward the star guard because of her immense popularity.
