Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham might be one of the most consistent players in the WNBA based on her stats from the last two seasons.
Cunningham has excelled as a role player on the Fever for the last few seasons. The three-point specialist has had a breakout season off the court but needs to deliver on it as the playoffs approach.

Cunningham is on the verge of pulling off arguably one of the most unique statistical feats in WNBA history, which is a testament to her level of consistency as a player season-by-season.
Sophie Cunningham replicates her stats from last season
Cunningham averaged 8.2 points on 46.9% from the field, 43.2% from three, and 87.5% from the free-throw line in the 2025 WNBA season.
In the 2026 season, Cunningham has averaged 8.6 points, but has matched her shooting percentages exactly, going 46.9% from the field, 43.2% from three, and 87.5% from the free-throw line.

No player in the WNBA’s history has even come close to matching their shooting averages between two seasons, let alone pulling it off exactly like Cunningham is currently managing.

How Sophie Cunningham can become the first player in WNBA history to pull this off
The Fever have three games left in the regular season, so the odds of Cunningham keeping these averages at their current exact number are slim, unless she sits out the final three games.
With their final two games coming against the league-leading Minnesota Lynx, the Fever can’t afford to leave one of the most accurate low-volume shooters in the WNBA on the bench to pull off this unique feat.
The only realistic combination to keep her averages intact would be going 5-11 FG (3-7 from three) in the first game, 6-13 FG (3-7 from three) in the second game, and 7-15 FG (3-7 from three) in the third game.

This would require her to score way above her season average in the final three games, making it a very unlikely possibility that she actually makes WNBA history with this feat.
