Sophie Cunningham Transitions Podcast, Drops Co-Host West Wilson
The Indiana Fever forward is bringing back her podcast with basketball trainer Drew Hanlen as new episodes resume weekly after a nearly three-month pause.
- On Thursday, Indiana Fever forward Sophie Cunningham relaunched her podcast as No Hesitation alongside basketball trainer Drew Hanlen, replacing former co-host West Wilson after nearly three months off the air.
- Following public disagreements over transgender athletes, the podcast had been dormant since July when Wilson posted a TikTok directly contradicting Cunningham's ESPN perspective on the issue.
- In the new episode, Cunningham discussed WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert and the need for functional practice facilities, saying "there are a lot of owners who are still being very cheap." She also praised teammate Caitlin Clark's improved body control this season.
- Cunningham's return coincides with the Fever securing a playoff spot, currently sitting fifth in the WNBA standings at 26-14. She continues contributing to USA Network studio shows alongside her podcasting duties.
- With the regular season concluding, the Fever prepare for what they hope will be a deep postseason run in the coming weeks. Cunningham aims to balance these professional obligations while growing the league through her media platforms.
