Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham is on the path to recovery. 

A video of the WNBA star made its rounds on social media over the Labor Day weekend, showing the University of Missouri alum dancing in a bikini, as she continues to recover from knee surgery. 

In the short clip shared to X, the 6-foot-1 basketball star, 29, sang Renee Rapp's "I Think I Like You Better When You're Gone," while wearing a tiny two-piece bikini and a knee brace.
