The endorsement, reported by The Big Lead, follows the Fever’s season‑long push for Cunningham, a Mizzou graduate, and coincides with her recent commentary on a WNBA‑related controversy. The question now is whether the Fever’s backing will convert into an actual nomination.

ESPN observed that Cunningham says she is not worried about off‑court distractions, a stance echoed after she broke silence on Enes Kanter’s WNBA‑Trans stunt in the New York Post. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Star highlighted her birthday celebration at Lake of Ozarks, underscoring a calm personal backdrop.
