The Indiana Fever may have landed Caitlin Clark, the most talked-about rookie in years, but it’s two of her new teammates who just set social media on fire. Sophie Cunningham and Lexie Hull, both known for their sharpshooting and strikingly similar appearance, caused a stir this week after posting playful duo photos from the team’s media day, sparking a wave of fan reactions.
With their matching blonde hair, confident energy, and similar builds (both around 6-foot-1), the pair leaned into the resemblance with a cheeky caption: “seeing double?” Cunningham wrote, prompting thousands of likes and a flood of enthusiastic comments on Instagram.
Even Clark jumped in on the fun, writing, “Little less tanning. A little more bball ladies,” showing the off-court chemistry that’s quickly forming in Indiana.
Cunningham and Hull ready for breakout roles
While Clark and fellow No. 1 pick Aliyah Boston are expected to lead the Fever this season, Cunningham and Hull could quietly become key pieces in the team’s playoff push. Both are expected to space the floor and take pressure off Clark and Boston by delivering from deep. Cunningham, who was acquired in the offseason, brings a 36.2% career shooting average from beyond the arc, while Hull, entering her third season, is coming off a year where she hit 47.1% from three.
The Fever also added WNBA veterans DeWanna Bonner and Natasha Howard, adding depth and experience to a roster that suddenly looks like a contender.
Fans are loving the “twinning” energy
Reactions to Cunningham and Hull’s photos have been overwhelmingly positive-and entertaining. Fans flooded the comments with messages like “both 10s,” “the duo I never knew I needed,” and “y’all about to splash.” The chemistry and energy between the two players have fans excited not just for their Instagram content, but for what they’ll bring to the floor this season.
The Fever will debut in the 2025 preseason against the Washington Mystics on Saturday afternoon, before officially tipping off their regular season on May 17 in a nationally televised showdown with the Chicago Sky.
Caitlin Clark might be the face of the franchise, but don’t be surprised if Cunningham and Hull become unexpected fan favorites.
