Caitlin Clark wasn't a huge fan of Sophie Cunningham's latest thirst trap and shared what she should be focusing on instead of catching some rays.

Prior to the Indiana Fever's 100-91 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks on Tuesday night, Cunningham posted a video with teammate Lexie Hull in black bikinis as they laid by a pool.

"We are off to our game tonight. Convince us there's a swimsuit brand that wants to partner with two Indiana Fever mermaids."

Clark, who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, told Cunningham to prioritize basketball instead of a brand deal.

"Swimsuit brands plz comment 'focus on basketball,'" Clark wrote in the comments.

Sophie Cunningham comments on sex toys thrown at WNBA games

Cunningham went viral again this week after commenting on the sex toys that have been thrown at WNBA games recently.  So far, two people have been arrested for throwing the objects onto the court. However, the incident has occurred six times in the past week. 

"Stop throwing dildos on the court… you’re going to hurt one of us," Cunningham shared on X on Aug. 1. 

She then followed up on reposting her tweet, "This did NOT age well."

The Fever guard also spoke about it on her podcast, "Show Me Something," which she co-hosts with "Summer House" reality star West Wilson.

"I was thinking about like, if someone threw that thing and like, first of all, the bounce that that thing had, if that smacks someone in the face, you know that's gonna be plastered everywhere," Cunningham previously said on her podcast.

The WNBA is aware of the incidents and made a statement earlier this week to warn fans about the intolerable behavior.

"The safety and well-being of everyone in our arenas is a top priority for our league," the WNBA said in a statement. "Objects of any kind thrown onto the court or in the seating area can pose a safety risk for players, game officials, and fans. In line with WNBA Arena Security Standards, any fan who intentionally throws an object onto the court will be immediately ejected and face a minimum one-year ban in addition to being subject to arrest and prosecution by local authorities."
