WNBA star Sophie Cunningham discusses Quest Nutrition partnership, Chiefs fandom
This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke to WNBA standout Sophie Cunningham at the Stumble Inn in New York City during a March Madness watch party as part of her partnership with Quest Nutrition.
Cunningham, who has risen to prominence with the Indiana Fever as one of the WNBA's most exciting young guards, told Easton about her experience with Quest Nutrition's products before revealing details about her Chiefs fandom.
"As a pro athlete, you have to take care of your body, but you also have to remember, we're human; we like to indulge. We like tasty things, so when I partnered with Quest, I fell in love with their products," said Cunningham. "I think everyone at the bar is starting to realize, 'Hey, these are healthy, but delicious food too, I love that. I do have a sweet tooth, so they have a lot of products where I can get my sweet tooth craving out of the way, but they are just good people, good company, and they like to empower and be around positive things because the W (WNBA) is one of them, and so I'm just happy to be one of their athletes."
Cunningham declared her loyalty to the Kansas City Chiefs as more than just her hometown team and opened up about her longtime support of the defending AFC champions while calling out their naysayers.
"I love the Chiefs. I think that the Midwest just fell in love with it. They gather around really great things. I think Andy Reid has done a phenomenal job, and everyone's falling in love with him," Cunningham explained. "I'm a Chiefs fan until I die, Red Kingdom, and everyone says again that I'm a bandwagon fan, but I absolutely am not. Y'all are bandwagoners; you guys are haters because we're winning. So I'm all for the Chiefs."
Cunningham notably responded to a social media post from her former team, the Phoenix Mercury, applauding a pass during a game last season. Instead of comparing it to the Cardinals, she clarified that the play was more of a nod to the Chiefs.
For the first time, Quest Nutrition offered Dirty Nachos and Cheesy Chicken Bites, two of its most popular recipes from Questnutrition.com, via the "Questified" bar menu for the many fans who attended. Cunningham shows her love for the product in a series of viral videos.

WNBA Fans In Disbelief After Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark News on Friday
WNBA Fans In Disbelief After Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark News on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese has been in good form recently. Struggling offensively to start the 2025 WNBA season, Reese has scored in double-figures each of the last four games, averaging 14.3 points, 10.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists during that stretch. Advertisement Despite Reese's improved play, Chicago sits at just 3-8 on the season. This is the second-worst record in the Eastern Conference, and third-worst in the entire WNBA. Chicago's poor record, combined with Reese's slow start to the year, could be why the 6-foot-3 forward was notably absent when the WNBA announced the top-10 2025 All-Star Game vote getters thus far. Fans were quick to notice that Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark not only led the list, but had roughly three times more votes than Reese. This news had WNBA fans in disbelief, as many felt Reese's popularity alone could have closed this gap. Advertisement "Reese's Pieces have been here celebrating that Caitlin's fans are supposedly turning on her… Meanwhile, it is Angel's fans who no longer have the juice," one stated. "Caitlin Clark fans voting for Kiki to spite Paige/Angel is hilarious I can't lie," said another. "Do my eyes deceive me or does Kiki have more motion than Angel Reese?" one asked. "Bruh Sky fans need to go vote," said another.

Many WNBA fans feel these stats should have resulted in more votes. "Me, looking for the face of the league, Angel Reese," said another. Advertisement "No Angel Reese?" one asked. "No angel Reese in the all star game !!! [Expletive] rigged we will not be watching," one added. "No way Angel Reese not in the top 10!!" another exclaimed. I don't believe it!

Chicago Sky Make Angel Reese Announcement After Eighth Loss
Chicago Sky Make Angel Reese Announcement After Eighth Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese has been playing her best basketball of the 2025 WNBA season in recent games. Over her last four contests, the 6-foot-3 forward is averaging 14.3 points, 10.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists. This includes her first career WNBA triple-double in a win over the Connecticut Sun. Advertisement Unfortunately for Reese and her team, the Sky currently sit near the bottom of the standings with a 3-8 record. Missing the playoffs last season, and owning the worst record in the Eastern Conference, Chicago was hoping for more success this year after some offseason changes. While that has not taken place, there is reason for optimism, particularly with the recent play of Reese. Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese (5).Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Heading into a game with the Phoenix Mercury on Saturday, the Sky made an announcement on their star sophomore. Per the team, Reese has officially been named Chicago's Player of the Week for the second consecutive week. This is a team-given honor, and one that was accompanied with a message on X. Advertisement "back-to-back," the Sky wrote. "Angel Reese is our Magellan Player of the Week for the second week in a row 😮💨" Reese has dominated these team-specific awards this season, winning several Player of the Game honors, and now taking home Player of the Week for the second straight week. On Friday, the WNBA announced the first voting returns for the 2025 WNBA All-Star game, and Reese was 13th in the league with over 173,000 votes. While this may be a bit lower than fans were expecting, it still puts her in position to make the All-Star team for a second straight year. Reese's recent play has only strengthened her All-Star case, and she will look to keep that going on Saturday against Phoenix Advertisement Related: WNBA Fans In Disbelief After Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark News on Friday This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 20, 2025, where it first appeared.

Chicago Sky Make Unfortunate Announcement Minutes Before Mercury Game
Chicago Sky Make Unfortunate Announcement Minutes Before Mercury Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky are hosting the Phoenix Mercury on Saturday afternoon, looking to get back in the win column. Just 3-8 through 11 games, Chicago owns the third-worst record in the WNBA this season. Advertisement It has been a different story for the Mercury, who enter the weekend 10-4 through 14 games. This is the third-best record in the league, and has Phoenix in prime position for another postseason berth. Phoenix and Chicago faced off earlier this season, with the Mercury securing a 94-89 win. What was already projected to be a challenging matchup for Chicago became more difficult with some pregame news. Former Connecticut Sun guard Moriah Jefferson (4) and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese.© Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images On their initial injury report for this game, the Sky had listed Moriah Jefferson as questionable to play. This was notable, because the 10-year veteran guard has been out all season due to a leg injury. Advertisement The upgrade to questionable had fans excited for Jefferson's potential season debut, but that will not be the case. Announcing their final injury report, the Sky have again ruled Jefferson out. For her career, Jefferson has appeared in 202 games and owns averages of 8.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists. A capable 3-point shooter, her career 38.8% clip from beyond the arc could help space the floor for Chicago once she returns. Jefferson was dealt to Chicago last season in the deal that included Marina Mabrey, sending the former Sky forward to the Connecticut Sun. The 5-foot-6 guard appeared in 14 games for the Sky, all off the bench, which is the role she will presumably fill this season once healthy.
