Phoenix Mercury guard Sophie Cunningham has indicated she may compete on the television show "Dancing With the Stars" while her future in the WNBA remains unresolved, according to reports published on November 9, 2026.
Cunningham, who has played for the Mercury since being drafted in 2019, is entering a period of uncertainty regarding her professional basketball contract. The 28-year-old shooter has not publicly confirmed her plans for the 2027 WNBA season.
The potential appearance on the popular dance competition would mark a high-profile off-court venture for the Arizona native, who has built a following for her three-point shooting and competitive demeanor.
No official announcement has been made by ABC, the network that airs "Dancing With the Stars," regarding Cunningham's participation.
