The Fever guard was seen wearing a long cheetah-print coat with cheetah-print shorts before tip-off between Indiana and Las Vegas. The fantastic fit came days after a sweater she wore before the penultimate game of the regular season against the Minnesota Lynx, which read "Kick Rocks."
Indiana will certainly need the precision of a cheetah to help them get past the Aces in their three-game series in the first round of the playoffs. Las Vegas has built a dynasty in the WNBA, winning three of the last four championships.

The Aces finished the 2026 season with a record of 31-13, and were just short of getting the No. 1 seed in the playoffs by two games. The Lynx finished 33-11 and the Golden State Valkyries finished second in the WNBA with a 32-12 record.
Indiana is looking for a massive upset with its team getting healthy. Fever head coach Stephanie White said Aliyah Boston will play in Game 1 after missing some time with a leg injury. Caitlin Clark has put together her best season in the WNBA so far and Kelsey Mitchell set the single-season record for most points scored in a season.
Cunningham will need to be a sparkplug off the bench.
