The Indiana Fever guard signed a one-year, $665,000 contract on Sunday. She celebrated in a special way.
Cunningham announced that she got baptized in an adult ceremony.

Cunningham forms an impressive guards trio on the Fever, along with former No. 1 overall pick Caitlin Clark and Lexie Hull.
The Indiana Fever guard and her teammates are called "Tres Leches," which translates from Spanish to "three milks. The nickname refers to a popular Latin American sponge cake.
