Caitlin Clark was left stunned by an Instagram post from teammate Sophie Cunningham on Monday as the Fever player posted a revealing picture to social media.
Clark has struck up a fast friendship with Cunningham since the WNBA veteran was traded to Indiana this past offseason, with the reigning Rookie of the Year at times playfully scolding the former Phoenix Mercury guard.
And Clark had some more jokes for her teammate this week as she shared a raunchy picture to Instagram.
Cunningham, who recently suffered a season-ending knee injury, showed off an extremely revealing outfit as she posed by a truck in a cowboy hat and boots.
‘Jeez Sophie,’ Clark wrote in the comments, before adding: ‘Can’t like this.’
Cunningham replied in the comments to her friend: ‘Wanna buy a truck? I can get you a good deal.’

Clark later replied in the comments: ‘super duper good bud,’ appearing to respond to Cunningham’s truck quip.
She also captioned the post: ‘back when my knee was healthy’, following her season-ending injury earlier this month.
Cunningham went down with a knee injury on August 17 the Connecticut Sun, as she dropped to the court while clutching her right knee in the second quarter.
She was then helped off the court as with a towel draped over her head as she made her way into the locker room.
The Fever later announced that Cunningham – who was shooting a career-best 43.2 percent from three-point range – was finished for the season.
The team did not reveal a specific injury in a statement, but said that Cunningham was expected to make a full recovery.

Cunningham’s setback comes as Clark has also had a nightmarish sophomore season affected by injuries.
She’s played in just 13 of 37 games for Indiana as she’s dealt with various ailments, and has not appeared in a game since July 15 since suffering a right groin injury.
That injury also forced her to miss playing in the All-Star Game at her home arena of Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
And to make matters even worse, IndyStar reported last week that the star tweaked her right ankle during an individual workout on August 7 in Phoenix.
Nonetheless, the Fever have cobbled together a 19-18 record – good for third in the Eastern Conference – mostly playing without Clark this season thus far.
